I really wanted to like this. Appreciate a legend coming to terms with closing of career, but felt he focused on how cycling had chewed him up and spat him out. Understand that cycling professionally can be bleak and soulless, and not wanting an overromanticised biopic, but there was little insight here, beyond a solid soundtrack and some innovative on bike cinematography, particularly the contra-la-montre stuff.

Been looking forward to this for ages, well over a year, and feel let down. It isn't a commentary on anything really, just a lot of go-pro shots. Don't get me wrong, appreciate that UCI/ASO don't like filming in the peleton, so it was cool to see shots in neutral zone etc. However that was all it was, no story, no relatable theme and just felt a mish mash. I think it just tried too hard, took itself a bit too seriously and ultimately failed to get anything across.

As others have said, moody shots, confused structure, dreadfully slow. All,
all style over substance. Am a Tour De France fan, but this was achingly
tedious. Needs a total re-edit. I lasted 40 minutes then gave up.
