This is a higher resolution version of a 9-minute video first published last year. It has now been optimised for watching on Apple TV. It features rushes and cutting room floor material from 'Wired to Win', the IMAX film about the Tour de France. More info here http://quickrelease.tv/?p=509

Graeme Fife is the author of numerous books, including Tour de France history tomes. This bit of audio was first broadcast on the UK's Radio 4.

Dan and his wife have bikes stashed away in their garage but he promises he's going to dig them out when he gets home. He must be a closet cyclist: he let slip he'd recently been flicking through Dirt Rag magazine...
