Quotes

Lance Armstrong: It was like a pistachio nut in a dirty bird's nest.

User Reviews

Funny and insightful

I do look at a lot of cycling sports because my family is totally into it. I'm not taking part but when there's Tour de France or another competition on TV - it's on. So, I watch quite a lot of cycling sports.

This mockumentary is funny and it shows a lot of the cycling world's problems, in a crazy way. There are a lot of problems and it must have been easy to find stuff for this mockumentary. The cast is great with Orlando Bloom, Danny Glover, Kevin Bacon, Dolph Lundgren and many more. Lance Armstrong's role is spot on! It's only about 37 funny minutes but I don't think they could have made it longer. 37 funny minutes is enough! I give it 7 out of 10.
