2011 Tour De France 12 Hour Blu-ray Collector's Edition



Super Tour
This is the first time World Cycling Productions has released the Tour in Blu-ray and the timing couldn't have been better. The intense competition has been magnificently captured with crystal clarity in high definition. If you're a cycling fan like me, you'll enjoy watching all the mountain stages in full in the 12-hour edition. My favorite stage was Number 19 - Alpe d'Heuz won by Pierre Rolland, where he rode away in the final 2 km after chasing down Alberto Contador with the help of Sammy Sanchez. No wait, maybe my favorite is Stage 17, won by Edvald Boassan Hagen after he cut through the narrow mountain roads ahead of Phillipe Gilbert, chased furiously by Contador and Sanchez trying the escape the peloton. Or maybe Stage 12 where Sammy Sanchez won on Luz Ardiden after a huge effort. The magnificent French countryside looks stunning in high definition and I love being able to spot the equipment the riders are on.

The only complaint I have is that the critical Stage...

Nothing beats the official release of TDF - 12hrs of the BEST footages from the BEST vantage points
Nothing beats the Official SBS coverage of the Tour de France - 12hrs of the BEST footages from the BEST vantage points.

It's not just about watching the race but also a helicopter tour of the breathtaking french countryside.

great to watch
"There are 12 towns in France named Roquefort, but only one that makes the cheese!" - Phil Ligget.

I always love Phil Ligget's stream of consciousness style commentary on these DVD's and this one of the best. Great coverage, footage, and commentary. Much more enjoyable that the 2012 sky-train.
