Chasing Legends



Chasing Legends is a film of the epic 2009 Tour De France. It looks like a great film, especially as it heavily features the legend Phil Liggott, Mark Cavendish and Jens Voigt.
The film makers were from an independent film company and so were on a tight budget, but they claim to have the best shots you will see in Tour de France style films as they managed to get right into the peloton and film from a press motorbike...that must have been a little scary to say the least!
It will be interested to see how the film compares to previous TdF films like Hell on Wheels and Overcoming. Both of those films have quite different approaches; Hell on Wheels is beautifully shot You get a sense of the extreme physical suffering that the riders go through, whereas in Overcoming you get to see how the team works from a strategic and political point of view. I'm sure Chasing Legends is going to be killer and I can't wait to see the full version.
