An incredibly guilty pleasure!!!
27 May 2001 | by (UK) – See all my reviews

I think i'm in the minority here in liking this film,but there you go! It's a cheesy slow build up but the ultimate payoff an exciting championship race and a thankfully downbeat ending,ever since i first saw it two decades ago as a kid i have always had a soft spot for it (between the ears!)the thumping upbeat soundtrack on the final laps when he's(Essex)finally going for the line totally outstripping the other bikes and then.........well you've got to watch it to find out..
