No worries. Sendit.com appear to have it in stock as a DVD, GBP 19.99.
Get the PC out ;-)

I got to see this on DVD at a friend's place 3 months ago. Probably
because he owns a Bianchi and Magnus Bäckstedt won the event this year ;-)

Great to see the vintage bikes, jerseys, good footage and commentary.

Worth a look, definitely.

Radio 4 (a radio station).

Fantastic. Not a lot of dialogue, but doesn't need it. Really needs
watching from the start. I'm sure it'll be repeated again at some point!
