    Who saw this last time?

    Is it enjoyable if I'm interested in hearing about the race, but couldn't care less about Lance?

    You will have to sit through a fair amount of Lance but overall it is a worthwhile movie. Coverage is similar to tv triathlon coverage where the main focus is on the front runners but other racers / human interest stories are also present.

    I enjoyed watching the 2009 video (watched it multiple times), and ordered the 2010 Blu-Ray as soon as I could. Received and watched it last night. Skip it.

    They spend way too much time on the touchy-feely Jimmy Roberts/NBC Olympics type stories. I want to see the racing (even though I know who won) at the sharp end of the field.

    They interview a bunch of racers, and then during the show, these racers do voice-overs of the action - but they don't really remind you who is talking. I don't know the guys well enough to be able to pick out JHK's voice over Travis Brown (narrator) over Levi over Todd Wells, etc.

    Yes, the pictures and video footage are amazing. Yes it's good motivation to get outside (went out and ran 6 afterwards), but I was FF'ing a lot by the end.
