A movie that could/should be part of the Eroica Festival.

Thanks for the "heads-up". If I see that it is at the local cinema, I'll arrange my domestiques and try to break-away.

I'll wait for it to come to Netflix, etc. but look forward to watching it.

I love the big title that says “ The Only American to Win the Tour DeFrance”.
Any one know how his fight with Cancer is going?

A must watch for me.
May watch in theater if proceeds help support Gregs cancer causes.

Compared to everything I saw in "The Best Upcoming Movies for 2023", this looks decent.

Thanks LarryBSky . Hopefully there's a theater close by. A must see also.

Interesting, no promotional web site. Only a hashtag reference at the end of the trailer, smugly (and at their peril) assuming that EVERYONE is on some corporate social media.

I'll be the first one in Line to watch it the day it releases.

My avater photo was in 1990, , the Lemond muti color TDF jersey.

Greg LeMond is now a Congressional Gold Medal recipient.

President Donald Trump signed the bill making official the awarding of the Congressional Gold Medal to American cyclist, Greg LeMons.

LeMond is the first cyclist, and 10th individual athlete, to win the honor.

Thanks for the upload from forum member Diablo Scott

Uh oh. He went there. Probably should just lock the thread now.

Lol. If it happened, it happened. Credit where it's due. All caps, signed in black Sharpie.

That was such an epic TDF. I can still remember where I was watching it on TV and where I was. The back and forth between Lemond and Fignon was great drama, with the final stage being the icing on the cake.

His book back in the day was very good about maintenance, fitting and technique, all of which I still ride with today.

Looking forward to this movie!

Note that it is the Congressional Gold Medal, not Presidential. Still, it takes 2/3 co-sponsorship of both the House and Senate before it can be voted on, so an impressive display of bipartisanship.

Fascinating read on that award, he’s rubbing shoulders with some impressive recipients - and deservedly so! I was a young rider when he won his second TdF. He was and still is my top cycling hero.

nice!!! a cycling movie!!!

I started following cycling in the late 1970s through VeloNews & later Winning mag. USA Today would regularly post results also.
Super exciting time for the sport!

We will be looking for that one. Following bike racing has become a regular part of our lives for my wife and me, and to a lesser degree our daughters. Which is odd as we're not people who really follow any sports otherwise. A couple of years ago I got fed up with NBCSports' pathetic attention to bike racing and signed up for GCN+, which (with an assist from a VPN) allows you to watch all their coverage of races big and small, and a huge lineup of other stuff: racing news, tech videos, documentaries on racing history, touring and 'slow cycling' through cool places, just about anything you could want to watch.

A couple of nights ago we watched this amazing 45min documentary about the incredibly harsh stage of the 1988 Giro d'Italia, which resulted in Andy Hampsten gaining a lead in the GC though he didn't win the stage, and ultimately winning the race.


It's beyond cool that today's video tech and methods allow very slick production of pieces like this which are for such a niche audience...and that there's a place where we can see them.
