I've seen
Le Vélo de Ghislain Lambert (2000)
and thoroughly enjoyed it , even with my poor French.
Belgian comedy set in the 70's. Ghislain Lambert, played by Benoit Poelvoorde, born the same day as
Eddy Merckx, is a Belgian cyclist whose ambition is to become a champion but without much success.
Antoine de Caunes narrates.
The above doesn't do it justice, the amphetamine scenes are hilarious with two cyslists in one small
toilet trying to inject each other in the buttocks whilst Madame waits ouside, listening. One
cyclist gets a double dose by mistake, and amazes everyone in a criterium by leading fromt the front
all day ( he a lowly domestique) until he crashes and
scenes were quite funny as well, and probably familiar to anyone that has toured with any sort
of club here one roommate has pulled and the other hasn't, although I have never met a lady
quite so generous.
