Blood, Sweat & Gears-
In response to the doping scandals that tarnished the reputation of
professional cycling, former racing cyclist Jonathan "JV" Vaughters
formed Slipstream, a team whose members agree to compete without the
aid of any performance-enhancing drugs. Documentary filmmaker Nick
Davis chronicles the dramatic story of "the clean team" throughout
2008, a year in which the team leader was superstar David Millar --
making a comeback after a doping scandal sidelined his career -- and
sees Slipstream win their first invitation to the Tour de France.
This
is an amazing inside look at these World class athletes, getting ready
for the challenge of a lifetime. The story is great, the images
memorable, it's a great way to get pumped for the month of action
ahead.
