Let's give it up for your best DVD/Video for watching while spinning as we head into winter. To get the ball rolling, my favourite is 'Big Six' - a summary of Lance's first 6 Tour wins. It highlights the time trials and key mountain stages as well as some behind-the-scenes footage through in.

I'd like some recommendations as I would like to put it on my Christmas list!

Feel free to add options!

Kevin Costner - he looked like Dave Scott with that mustache. Great pick! I remember 2 things from the movie: 1) interval training with 'Eddie' the dog
2) during the fitness testing they have a sign posted in latin that when translated means 'When you got it up, keep it up!'

I think that I'll definitely put this one on my list.

Ironman 2004 is the best of the 5 that I own. But I'd give a runner up nomination to just about any Giro d'Italia video. I like the action better than that of the Tour de France.

I didn't know the Giro was that good - I have to definitely check this out - Can you tell me who won that year? Simoni?

I love American Flyers.  And let's not forget the wonderful cameo by Eddy Merckx.

Two favorite quotes from that movie:

1.  Enough of this Sunday stroll.  Let's Hurt a Little!

2.  I'm right behind you Belov, but I'm really 2 seconds in front of you.

Let's see if I can do this from memory:

2005 Paolo Savoldelli
2004 Damiano Cunego
2003 Gilberto Simoni
2002 Paolo Savoldelli
2001 Gilberto Simoni
2000 Stefano Garzelli
1999 Ivan Gotti
1998 Marco Pantani
1997 Ivan Gotti
1996 Pavel Tonkov
1995 Tony Rominger

That's as far back as my video collection goes for the Giro, though I believe Evgeni Berzin won in 1994, and possibly Miguel Indurain before that. The only other one I'm sure of is American Andy Hampsten in 1988 when be battled the huge snowstorm to win in an epic stage over the Gavia Pass!

And don't forget this one;
