    I know this has been out for aages, but it finally made it to Hamiltron last night in the NZIFF. Anyone seen it? Would recommend if not.

    Was fascinating stuff, still a bit of a puff piece for old Lance, but was great to see the story develop over such a long filming period. And it did make you feel *slightly* for him.

    Some of the cycling filming was (including some early GoPro stuff) just gorgeous though.

    It's reasonably fascinating even to someone generally not interested in sport-cycling purely for the bits where the sports-cycling team manager people are sitting in the team cars consulting clipboards, shouting things into radios, shouting things to documentary makers, shouting out of the window, handing bananas to riders and so on WHILST DRIVING THE CAR. You think they'd have someone to do that for them, just in case they get distracted and bunt someone into a barbed-wire fence or something.

    "bunt someone into a barbed-wire fence or something"

    Must be a video of that somewhere...

    Yeah, the bit from the team car when Contador broke away was hilarious.

    Loved the Italian doctor as well.
