Have you seen this documentary from the producers of "The Hard Road (http://www.thehardroad.com/)"?
Both are great films that cover pro cycling in America. I can't say it enough, if you haven't seen these films, you will never understand how hard it is to be a professional cyclist in the United States.
Pro: A Feature Documentary (http://www.prothemovie.com/)
Check these out. They show older years of racing. But it's still great to watch.
"Pro" follows the Domestic proteams of Road Cycling up to and also covers the USPRO road race in Philadelphia.
Pro is brand new and is not on Netflix yet as far as I know.

Let me know what you think if you rent The Hard Road,(Netflix) I'm curious what those interested think.

And by the way, I wasn't sure if this was the right section, so as Lord Helmet from Spaceballs would say, Do your worrrst:p

Looks cool.

This is an interesting quote - moreso for the person quoted than the quote.

And I quote...

"The Hard Road" delivers. It brings us into the rider's homes and hotel rooms, along in the team van and behind the scenes of the races to show us the team's camaraderie and triumphs, as well as their disappointments, hardship and sacrifices. In the background, or as Paolinetti would say, in the pauses, what arises are issues of justice and fairness, loyalty and honor, integrity, truth, self knowledge and commitment. Financial reward, a certain future, social normalcy, and personal comforts are some of the things that the riders must give up in exchange for a soul-deep engagement with something essential in themselves." -- Alan Smithe Hollywood, CA
