Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Half of the people on the Southern California part of this forum saw it together. It's pretty good, educational and entertaining.

Yeah. Saw it at IMAX a long time ago. It was really good. The 3D modeling of the body was REALLY awesome. See it if you get a chance.

I get that it is about the challenges of the TdF, but does it make some assertion about the importance for mental toughness or something with new scientific studies? Or is it just following the Tour?

Its pretty cool. They had originally made Tyler Hamilton the focus of the movie until his dopping scandal then they switched to Baden Cooke and Jimmy Caspar. So there are shots where Tyler Hamilton is clearly the focus and absolute silence (kind of funny). The cinematography is amazing.
