i watched chasing legends for the first time yesterday. the film follows the then htc-columbia team and their roster of stars such as mark cavendish, mark renshaw, george hincapie, tony martin and bernhard eisel as they raced their way around the 2009 tour de france. it was the edition which also included the imfamous lance armstrong - alberto contador astana team.
i thought the movie was very good and made all the more entertaining by including plenty of interviews with jens voigt, always a winner right? my only criticism of the film was the corny and ever so slightly cringe worthy introduction and conclusion to the movie featuring what was supposed to be old black and white footage of a young boy peering over his garden gate as the tour hero's of yesteryear race by, pure cheese! that aside the film is definately worth a viewing.
i found the clip below showing the run in to paris giving a good flavour for the style of the film.
