Why? The query was in 2 very short paragraphs at the start of the thread.
Why? Because I knew the answer to the original question and it is a fictional movie about road racing.

I just finished watching it again. I'd forgotten how old it is - mid-1980s. Cheese-tastic fun!
I started cycling again about 4 years after the film was made. The bike I bought then was similar to the ones that the movie peloton were riding - steel frame, down tube shifters, limited range of gears, exposed cables, and toeclips. Things have changed a lot in the 40-plus years since!
Never heard of it before but just looked it up.
Eddy Merckx. made a cameo appearance!

He was actually disguised as a very young-looking Eddy Merckx... I wonder what he thought of the aggressive American rider in the movie being nicknamed 'The Cannibal'!
