I watched this originally with my daughter. She enjoyed the story and the scenery and just how slimy Hinault was then and is now. She also chattered through the whole thing, so I watched it again. It was great to see such an unabashed pro-Greg artifact on the American cable sports tee vee. The way they got the Badger to take part must have been to let him in on the secret that the film was not going to make the bad guy Bernard Hinault at all but instead make the clearly sociopathic and/or senile and/or high-right-now Paul Koechli the villain. Koechli certainly obliged. Besides being glowingly in love with the Lemonds, the bonus Andy Hampsten content in the film was a joy. While giving the Badger enough rope, tormenting Koechli's pathology, and giving the world-weary Samuel Abt were all good, worthwhile fun, the collective pissing on Lance "Cheat-to-Win" Armstrong at the end was quite obviously more fulfilling after a good hour plus of enthusiastic Lemond propaganda.
Meanwhile, this is one of the dumbest reviews of anything you will ever read. This boob David Kallison clearly doesn't know shit about cycling or television or films or reviewing or writing. Nice job, jerkoff!
