I posted this in cake stop but for those who wont venture beyond the borders of pro race here's a beautiful little film by Louis Malle on the 1962 TdF

    Nice, I love the old cycling lore because on my budget, I can only ride an old bike but it's a ton of fun...and my fave articles in Cycle Sport is usually when they talk about the old masters, to ride the tour in those days is spectacular.

    Malle was (is?) a real cycling fan - one of the collaborator's in Lacombe Lucien is depicted as an ex-pro
