Have we talked about the documentary, Time Trail, starring David Millar? Good documentary, excellent sound design. It’s on the iplayer.

Thought it was shite. Pretty much hated everything about it except the soundtrack (love Dan deacon)

This is a better review than I can do:

‘A very different doco. Quite arty style following David Millars come back to pro cycling. Doesn’t go down the usual route of using talking heads with lots of dialogue. It’s mostly shot like a fly on the wall (or dashboard/bike) documentary with some voice overs by David Millar himself. I saw this at the cinema & it really worked on the big screen for me, may be better seen this way if you can. You get a real sense of the speed & drama of the peloton etc. The microphones pick up some great conversations between the riders & the language gets quite colourful, giving the film it’s comedic moments.‘

I’ll give it it’s due, the opening sequence is great. Thought it was pretty lacking

I enjoyed pretty much the complete lack of narration and the little chats he has with the car about what to have for lunch. Or the bit where he’s moaning to Wait Is That G about the younger riders until Thomas just rides off.

I bloody love it. Didn’t realise it’s on iPlayer at the moment.

been wanting to see this since i missed it at the pictures

Tirenno-Adriatico looked alright (think that was the race that a pedestrian walked out across a zebra crossing in front of Peter sagan)

It looked absolutely grim.

It generally is.

Dan fucking martin, baby!
