"Hell On Wheels" - on SBS

[Beanzy]

I have found out that the Documentry/film "Hell on Wheels" is to be
screened on SBS (Sydney at least) on Sat July 2 at 9.30pm.

Some info pinched from Cycling NSW newsletter:

HELL ON WHEELS NOW ON SBS
"Hell on Wheels shows the torture and the pain, the fear and the weaknesses
of the men in the Tour de France, offering true insight and unprecedented
access to the participants. We see the tears of those who are out of the
race and the joy of those who suffered but fulfilled their biggest dream: to
reach the finishing line of this hardest race of all"

This documentary will be screened on SBS Television on Saturday July 2 at
9.30 pm

For more information go to HELL ON WHEELS

I kinda wish I hadn't seen this. Now I'm less excited about seeing it
probably on Sunday. It started today @ Electric Shadows (ACT)

In addition to Hell on Wheels, the Discovery Channel has a program named
'Science Of Lance Armstrong' on at 8:30 pm (20:30 h) on Monday 27 June
and repeated at 05:30 am the next day. It does not appear in the Jun
Foxtel magazine but is listed online at:
http://discoveryanz.com/_listings/index.shtml?channel_code=DCAU&schedule_
date=20050627&language_code=ENG
I have also seen it advertised as a station promotion so assume the
Foxtel listing has been amended.
cheers,
Darryl

It will be nation-wide on sbs, followed by highlights of 2004 TdF an
then its all go for the race itself.

I am looking forward to seeing Hell again - there was so much I misse
first time round

It's a shame Zabel's been dropped from the tmobile tour team. I wa

mostly naked, scared and chock full o' self doubt n' all.

yeah, pity they couldnt 'lend' him to another team altho guess th
strategy is to keep their riders fresh for support work fo
Ullrich/Vino in the latter half, rather than burning the domestiques o
the flat stages for Erik early on. And he was always a liability on th
TTT, supposedly...

I hope Cookey finds his way back to the pointy end. keep seeing hi
back about 5-10m in quite a few sprints this year but not quite fa
enuff forward.

And on a dutch note its a shame Rabobank are seemingly a shadow o
their once-dominant selves in recent times..

What's funny about that, apart from the TTT, is that sprinters
teams and GC teams are complimentary, to a certain extent. Both
have vested interests in bunch finishes on flat stages, so they
work to make sure no dangerous breaks get away. Of course,
a dangerous break to a GC rider is not likely to be the same
dangerous break as it is to a sprinter who's racing for
the sprint points, but nonetheless ...

g'day,

saw this tonight....nothing new in this doco. As usual with seppo'
doing a doco on their favourite seppo cyclist, it was choc full o
Lance's mates talking about how wonderful he is. I'd rather se
something 'new'...although I s'pose Lance is bigger than the sport i
the US, so there's probably not much 'new' left to show us....yes he'
an awesome athlete.....but after 10 years of "Lance....." this
"lance......" that, its time someone kicked his arse,...Go Mic
Rogers!!!

cheers,

Hitch

picked up the Cycling Weekly Tour Guide and found the article b
Jonathan Vaughters on Lance interesting - you're either 110% FOR Lanc
or you're against him. Simple, effective, but NOT nice.

According to Vogels, McEwen is more normal, just one of the guys EXCEP
when he thinks he can win, then he just stares right through you.

HoW: What blew me was the photographers in the time trial

It was pretty funny, that was my opinion... whenever Jan appeared on
screen, someone in our bunch would yell out and cheer. The science
itself is quite amazing (and yeah, my mates run the UQ wind tunnel...
they're all into laser holography, so I could...) but unfortunately it
only lasted about 5 minutes of the 1 hour show.

Imagine going for a ride, and having people rush out to help you when a
bug gets in your eye. Weird.
