Editorial Reviews

1999 Tour de France An American In Paris Leave it to the heroic Texan, Lance Armstrong, to guide America's incredible emergence as a great power in professional cycling while saving the tarnished image of the world¹s greatest bike race. In our eleven years covering the Tour de France, we've witnessed the exploits of Lemond, Indurain, Riis, Ullrich and Pantani. Now Armstrong joins the greats in perhaps the most inspirational sports comeback story of all time-exactly 10 years after American hero Greg Lemond's own awe-inspiring journey from near-death to the top of the podium in Paris. Armstrong completely dominates the Tour, including a time-trial sweep, a stunning stage victory in the Alps, total control in the Pyrenees, and a heartfelt, stars-and-stripes victory lap on the Champs-Elysees. "The mind is an amazing thing," Armstrong says. "I hope this sends out a fantastic message to all the cancer patients and survivors around the world: We can return to what we were before ‹ and be even better." This video, packed with action, exclusive interviews by Paul Sherwen and roaming reports by Gary Imlach, is a must-see, sure to become a collector's item. Two cassettes. Approx 190 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars LIKE BEING THERE!, December 20, 1999
By A Customer
Actually, I have just finished the 4 tape set (8 hrs!), and if you love bike racing, you will like this alot. If you can find it, the 8hr. version is worth the extra cash! More live action and up close video than you could imagine. The scenery of the french countryside is incredible & the first time that you see Lance Armstrong attack On the first mountain stage and ride everyone right off of his wheel sucking air you will be on your indoor trainer faster than you can say viva 'la france! Check your local pro bike shop for the 8hr. version if Amazon cannot get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Footage of the 1999 Tour de France, June 13, 2000
By 
I have watched all or part of this two-tape video package at least twenty times. It is the perfect motivator for those in-door trainer sessions. Lance, of course, is amazing and inspirational. It really is the next best thing to being there. A couple of the stages are looked at only briefly, but the key races are covered in exciting detail. Most of the time you'll feel like you're riding right along with the peloton behind one of those crazy motorcyclists who, thankfully, provide us with such great footage. I love this video and highly recommend it to anyone who loves the sport!

4.0 out of 5 stars focus on the mountain stages please, September 8, 2000
By A Customer
Well, the coverage starts of rather monotonously by covering the sprint finishes in the early stages, and did justice to the fact that Cippolini broke the record. I'd liked to have seen more coverage of individual teams and explanations of the tactics as well used by them. Needless to say I've watched the set about three times already. Good buy.
