If you enjoyed that film, get the book because there is a huge amount of detail that they only touch on in the film.

Hinault wanted to win a sixth Tour and he tried. LeMond beat him. He justifies it with his "driving Greg to greatness" stories in his head.

My favorite is the interview about the Tour being over...and Hinault basically says it is not over. Essentially saying he is still in the race but he softens it with if Greg crashes etc...But he was never going to ride support, really, for LeMond.

When I read the book, the politics of this struck me....a Frenchman, five time winner riding support for an American?

La Vie Claire was a fascinating bunch. Powerful, but badly put together. Tapie was a pretty fascinating person.
