Best sports movie

[topspeed]

i love the scene where he's riding next to the truck and the driver keeps holding his hand out the window and indicating with fingers how fast he's driving as he keeps up with him.

and then the great ending of him riding twice in the relay (or was it dennis quaid that rode twice?)

That is, without a doubt, the best scene in the whole movie! It's realistic, too. All things equal, the biggest detriment to speed on a bicyle is wind resistance.

BTW, it was the cyclist geek that rode twice, not Quaid. They duct taped his shoes to the pedals, remember?

that's right! i remember that scramble as they taped his feet on to get him to go another round. that wa an exciting finish to a race. now turned into cliche finish, but still powerful in this movie. now i gotta add this on to my netflix queueueueue, i havent seen it in a while! and then there's the scene at the reservoir when quaid races the jock in the water and bangs his head against the wall and still tries to finish. didnt it also have the third guy from city slickers with the glasses and crazy hair? (name eluding me, will have to check on imdb).
