A twelve part feature on the history of the Tour de France. I saw a repeat of this on late night british television last week. It was done in 2003 for the 100 year 'anniversary' of the Tour. It's pretty sweet and it's filled with fun facts. Like, did you know that the first winner of the Tour won by car sharking his way to the finish?

The extended version with multiple replays, you'll have turn up the volume...(oh, he did make it)

From NYT: At the time of his fall, Brown was in first place, but on his final run he attempted a 720 — two full rotations — over the ramp’s 70-foot gap, a move no one had ever landed in Big Air competition. Although he landed it, Brown was not prepared for the 27-foot-tall quarterpipe that followed. He readied for a McTwist — a 540-degree spin — but lost control as he approached the lip of the ramp. He said he felt as though he was “shot out of a cannon” as his momentum carried him away from the ramp’s wall and out over its flat section. He fell about 45 feet, his limbs flailing, and landed on his feet with such force that both his sneakers shot off. He was then thrown hard onto his back, his helmet striking the wooden base of the ramp. Brown spent Thursday night in a local hospital, where he was treated for a bleeding liver, two sprained wrists, a bruised lung, and whiplash to his back and neck. Dulled by painkillers and speaking from his room Friday, he said of his fall, “I think that was kind of the highlight.” Brown wound up finishing second after Burnquist followed his fall with the event’s winning run. But Brown welcomed his newfound fame.
