The Road Uphill - Free on Amazon Prime

[Ben Reeve]

Had a watch of this last night. Currently free on Amazon Prime.

It is the story of the Schleck brothers taking on the Tour De France.

Worth watching for Andy's views alone. He is almost a philosopher in the way he goes about cycling, happy to push hard and work at it but understanding that there is more to what defines your life than your career choice.

Anyone else seen it?

He was a doper, was he philosophical about his cheating?

Indications of but never proved is my understanding. This statement gets wheeled out for alot of riders pre 2010 and whilst his brother was convicted and they were very close he never was unless someone can correct ,e. If he was doping he didn't do a great job of it. He was never dominant, always on the edge of losing.

Either way it was a good watch

I'll put that on my list.

Was he philosophical about the concept of proof outwith legal contexts?

The reason I ask is that if it is the "story of the Schleck brothers taking on the Tour De France" it should make significant reference to doping.

He didn't dope. I'm not sure why you're complicating this.

Most people who followed pro racing would heartily disagree with that!

Currently free on Amazon Prime.

I can't see how to get it without giving my payment details. Do you mean it's free with Amazon Prime?

Yes apologies. If you already are an Amazon Prime subscriber it's free. Not desperately clear on my part
