A decent documentary about the famous American cyclist who is the only one to ever win the Tour de France. The plot development began nicely, but there were too many side stories that I thought were key to the plot that were never finished. Also (although unavoidable) there were too many French people interviewed in this with subtitles that made it hard to follow. However, the essence of the story was captured well and kept it entertaining enough to keep it inspirational.
