    Brailsford's "I'm a bit lonely. No wait... I'm a bit of a loner. Loner. That's what I meant" was pure Partridge.

    Yep - by far the funniest moment... that and: the inordinately long pause Brailsford made when asked to describe what he thought of wiggins; and Cath Wiggins wrestling with the word "twat"... loads of comedy Gold.

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    +1.
    Although footage of Sutton's ironing style comes pretty close.

    Christian Prudhomme also said something about earning the yellow jersey taking blood, toil and sweet. Yeah, lots of blood. Sometimes even someone else's!

    I had to fast forward through the kids singing. I was cringing so hard I could barely work the remote.

    I could nt help but think it was better than the god bothering crap we had to sing at school!

    Finished watching this today. it was good, but not as good as it could have been. More gritty 'behind the scenes' material needed. More footage of his interaction with team mates and at team meetings.

    It's been sanitised too heavily.

    Worth a watch though.

    Oh, and it's changed my opinion of him (for the better) slightly.

    More of that possibly in the DVD+extras to be released in the New Year. Though doubt whether it'll include footage of what was said between all the parties in the hotel after La Toussuire, for example...can't see any film maker being given access to film at that particular point...

    Just watched this last night for the first time. I love how cut throat Brad is with people regarding his privacy. Things that stood out for me:

    Brad's house and shed is amazing
    Hes a down to earth bloke
    His training team have great banter
    His wife would get it
    Cube Attain SL Disc
    Giant CRS 2.0
