the beautiful film of the '73 Giro d'Italia, Stars and Watercarriers.

I'm sure most of you have seen it and own it, but for those few who have not seen it, or those who have not seen it in a while, here is the link

Rod, Thanks for this link. I've never been into racing, but enjoyed this documentary very much. Obviously some real talent went into making it, and I was particularly pleased with the absence of rock music in the sound track. I've never really liked that style of music, and feel it is quite limited in the range of emotion it can effectively convey, yet it seems to pervade nearly every aspect of life. Modern documentaries of outdoor adventure sport seem to be expected to have wall-to-wall rock, pounding away like a swollen artery in a fevered brain.

Merckx was certainly impressive. Robo-cyclist.
