ps - - I have to say it is pretty awesome

From the look of the pool they train in Rome

3:48 he just wanly smiles then is glum. It's going to hurt him this year in the ITT's and he will only gain 10 seconds on Contador in the TTT I think.

Found parts interesting. Didn't understand if he was getting the results he wanted at the track. His ITT to date don't seem to be bearing fruit. He seemed to focus on it in off season, yet didn't see him do that much better in any of the warm up races with ITT's.

The background music and some of the visuals were "Tour of Andy"..... Soft porn-esque...

I wonder do all lead riders tell strategy they will follow that day to their manager...or was that creative editing? Seemed that Andy was showed as telling the manager in the bus at LBL what he was going to do. I don't know that race well enough to know if that strategy is one that everyone uses, or if it was unique and a stroke of genius.

I'm really impressed with the Dutch. First the TD documentry, now this. Great stuff.

The actual film is about an hour by the way. The youtube version is cut.

The Schleck documentary is Danish. But yes, it's longer than this.

Interesting piece, which confirmed somethings about Andy and dispelled some misconceptions I had. Curious, does anyone know what Riis was saying at the end? Apparently Andy took it quite personally.

interesting video, but endlessly frustrating that its been uploaded at 4:3 when its 16:9

40 minutes of skinny squashed people is mildly annoying.

 

[Havetts]

I hate it when Andersen keeps screaming allez allez in the microphone. But its a good docu and I liked the part with the Highroad team.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I liked the part where Gilbert wins LBL and we see the Leopard Trek staff reaction in the bus

 

[hrotha]

Does it say whether Fränk will withdraw before the Pinerolo stage?

great documentary...thanks for posting! Dutch Television is really outdoing itself these days...

Like the other guy said; although it was aired on Dutch tv. Its made by the Danish.

 

[Spine Concept]

The documentary must have been mind-numbing if people are talking about who made it.

 

[Kazistuta]

Tonight 20.00 CET on DR2 on Danish TV..... and they claim it's their own footage

Riis simply said (as translated into Dutch) that he feels there's still areas where Andy can improve - but he won't tell which, since Andy no longer rides for SaxoBank (the latter part said with a smile on his lips). The program directors manages elegantly to cut directly to Andy's statement "we'll take it on the roads".... Not much to talk about IMO.

Who cares who's footage it is, as long as it's there for everyone to see.

Thanks Kazistuta.

(the credits list a number of 'associated' broadcasters, from various countries including VPRO, while the director/production staff appear to be danish)

Anyway, it's a great documentary; it shows the dedication and passion of riders who have set their minds to achieve their highest goal in their sport. Also, the beautiful landscapes they ride in throughout the year in preparation of the tour and other races.

wonderfully done.

i laughed when he said that

but i looked at his so sad face and then felt bad...

 

[Hinault en jaune]

He clearly worked on his time trial. I wonder what the result will be. Imagine that he would start the final time trial with a bonus of 30 seconds to Contador...

 

[theyoungest]

He worked on his TT, yes, but apparently the Pais Vasco TT was a serious test... the result wasn't spectacular, I must say.

 

[gilbertador]

To be honest he looked like he had a significantly flatter back than ever before on the tt bike i rekkon he ll have improved his tt by what he predicted which is 30 seconds in long test

Loved the bit where the ds starts shouting das ist highroad short turns then there was some abuse as they passed really nice natural moment
