Tour de France - Legends of the Race DVD giveaway
Postby AUbicycles » Fri Jun 21, 2013 10:27 am
It comes out on July 25 and you can be one of the first to have it - well timed for the 100th Tour de France race.
The Tour - The Legend of the Race sheds a new light on the last 100 years of the Tour de France, now considered one of the world’s most popular sporting events. The Tour has lived through a century of rich history, with ups and downs, triumphs and scandals, continually evolving with the times. Throughout it all one key characteristic has remained - the incredible power of identification the public has with the Tour cyclists, mythical figures that seem accessible and inaccessible at the same time. In order to reflect this human dimension of the Tour, the film tells the story through a selection of its emblematic heroes. Emblematic of the Tour, but also emblematic of an era, embodying in the film their generation: Coppi, Bobet, Anquetil, Poulidor, Merckx, Hinault, Indurain, Armstrong... Fully archive-based and colourised, The Tour cleverly weaves together all these individual stories with the story of the Tour de France itself, with the goal of creating a timeless and epic sports saga.
For your chance to win yourself a copy, hit reply and tell us in 25 words or less:
Who is the greatest past, present... or future Tour De France cyclist?
The DVD will be available on July 25.

Merckx was good, but I reckon Indurain would've given him a run for his money.

You can't possibly be serious the only reason Ocana won in '73 was because Merckx was asked not to ride by French officials because he looked like beating Anquetils record so he beat Ocana at the Vuelta instead . Times and Titles is all that counts not ifs .Red Rider wrote:Luis Ocana would have trounced Merckx right at the height of his powers, Ocana was a master of bad luck but still triumphed.

But he got away with it for so long! That's got to be worth something.AUbicycles wrote:Well a 50% chance for each participant - sorry eezee, I can say now that there won't be any points for Lance as I can see his participation and behaviour being anything close to greatnes in light of his recent admission.

(Until his East German doping comes out!) Jokes... sheesh!
Anyone that can inspire such defense and has phrases like SHUT-UP LEGS! deserves to win.

already voted Merckx is my man for number 1 as i said ,in an era when ephedrine was most likely the best PED available to win 5 TDF and many other classics in the same year makes him superior to any modern day riders .AUbicycles wrote:So Sienna, for a chance to win, who is your vote for the greatest TDF cyclist and why?

I read his wiki page after reading about a Lemond trainer, before the recent Lance/UCI saga coming out, and his life story has been legendary in itself, ignoring his famous adversaries.gabrielle260 wrote:I have followed the tour for 25 years and believe Greg Lemond to be the greatest. Why? Because he came back after his shotgun accident and won, despite still carrying buckshot in his body. That final stage time trial was amazing too!

Bernard Hinault, first or second in every tour he completed and dominated the entire tour for 10 years and controlled the entire peloton.
