    Hi all,

    If you haven’t seen it, the documentary on the (in)famous Hinault/LeMond rivalry is on ITV4 right now… possibly on the online player later, or possibly not.

    Actually, any possibility of a TV cycling round-up preview on the site in the future?

    My current favourite is the ‘Armstrong Lie’. It’s well presented, but amusing because everytime Armstrong opens his mouth you know he is lying. I bought the audio version of Juliet Macur’s book, which is a beautiful hatchet job on Armstrong, she really cuts through the lies, that has a lot of detail which really explains the bullying lengths he went to. The part that covers Floyd Landis’s career outside of Postal is both hilarious and sad.

    Starring Merckx at the end of his career and a super smooth looking Roger De Vlaeminck. Proper old school. The riders have to contend with a strike holding up the race at one point!

    Yep that is a brilliant piece of work- narration is superb.

    I caught the second half. It was giving me lots of bike and kit envy. Those jerseys looked sweaty as hell – but great all the same.
