80's Boobies on 1

They're not really 80's cans. More like boobettes!

Hold tight - claret.

Costner's got a wobble on...

The Russian's scoused Tony Hawks' lid!

That sprint was dogshit! Now this is a sprint:

YouTube- Tour de France-Djamolodine Abdoujaparov's massive crash!!!

I had a boiler that sounded like that Russian!

Shame there's not still a proper American Tour

It would take three months to complete! Mind you, they could ride east to west and then back again.

although no hairy upper lips but quite the best cycling film in recent times is "Belleville Rendez-vous"

amazing how crap the bmx pix is compared to a uk raleigh of a similar period...... attention to detail !

Nobody comment on the outlandish and hilarious bit where the "cannibal" bloke tries to "chin" costner's brother off the road, it was like jimmy hill and bruce forsyth rolled into one, I proper pissed it laughing at that bit.

^^
Glad you noticed that too!

"I kill you wiv my chin!"

Ah, not on iPlayer. Shame. Will watch YouTube version I guess.

Breaking Away ftw

No word of a lie, I read the freeview information thing before watching this and read 'terminal illness' as 'mental illness' and then spent the first 3\4ths of the film thinking David Grant's character was supposed to be a little slow.
It actually made quite a lot of sense...

Just re-watched this. I love that their winning strategy is to ride faster than the peleton and win all the sprints. It's a wonder nobody had ever thought of that before. Inspired.

I like how Costner's 'Oldest trick in the book' is to shift up to the big ring!
