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

I dunno what I was expecting, but I was disappointed.

What did we get from it that we couldn't have got from a 15 minute interview with Zabel?

There was some nice footage, and some good candid grabs of the team which conveyed some of the frustration that the riders no doubt experience after certain stages, but that was about it!!

there was also a lot of "dead air"

I reckon I pick up more from Paul Sherwin a 20min highlights package of 1 stage of the Tour
