I know it wasn't necessarily a technical movie, but with all of the emphasis today on form, technique and aerodynamics, it was less than convincing to see a chicken-legged actor with a lot of excess upper body and trunk movement playing a velodrome world champ.

I liked the movie, probably more than I actually stated in my first post.

Right now my biggest concern is how to get this french dip sandwich into this tiny tupperware container with the Oh Juice in it.
