Does anyone know where I can download or buy a DVD of the "Wired to Win: Surviving the Tour De France" IMAX movie? I've got an excerpt on a podcast from Itunes but it's only 8 minutes long. I'd really like to get hold of the full 40 minute version of this fantastic movie.

    Not sure that it is out ? Dont they tend to keep these IMAX films in the theatres ?

    Love to see it though.

    Saw it at the Vancouver Science Museum whilst on hols over there - quite interesting although not a huge cycling content.

    Focuses on the FDJ team at the 2003 Tour I think with quite a bit about one of their riders (Jimmy Casper?) who was in the same crash that Hamilton broke his collarbone in, when he was riding in a neck brace and they show you how his pain receptors were sending messages to his brain ("big time" as Sean Kelly would say).

    I think it was Sandy Casar in the neck brace but unlike Duffield I don't 'ave me books to 'and to check! :?

    well I was feeling dodgy anyway (it was soooooooooooo humid and sticky in Boston) and sitting so close to the screen and head going left to right and back (a la Wimbledon) certainly did not help :cry:
