The Last Rider - wow!

Just watched The Last Rider as part of my wahoo tour training plan. What. A. Film. Best thing I’ve watched in ages, wonderful, brought goosebumps and tears.

Highly recommended.

Right, am off to shop for retro cycling jerseys…

@gwydion Thank you for your take on it. I’m looking forward to this one.

Definitely. An amazing story, well told with lots of great archive footage. Hearing the Sherwin / Liggett commentry on anything brings back great memories of when I first got into watching cycling on TV.

Rode/watched this today based on an of your recommendations. Wow…
I got all teary twice, admittedly I’m a little susceptible to emotion these days, but I had no idea about LeMond other than the fact he was shot and came back. What. A. Story.

I didn’t even know he was shot before seeing this!

Such a shame we basically all ditched him for Lance!

This interview with Greg is well worth an hour and a half of your time:

I was enjoying this one but found the subtitles for the parts in French were behind the ride data along the bottom so I couldn’t see it. Any idea on a way around this?

The subtitles are embedded in the video. So the only way to see them is in the settings in the player to change the video size so it sits above the ride numbers instead of behind them, or to remove the ride data from the display.

Thanks for the heads up! I watched this yesterday and learned so much. Great interview.
