2006 Tour de France DVD 12 hour

The controversy and the aftershocks stemming from one of the most dramatic and exciting Tours in decades continue at a fever pitch. In spite of two positive tests, Landis continues to aggressively deny any wrongdoing. This controversy will continue for weeks, if not months or even years. What is not debatable is the fact that the 2006 Tour de France proved to be a spellbinding action thriller from start to finish. Shock and controversy burst full blown even before the start of the race when Spanish authorities announced results of their investigations of doping operations that forced the withdrawal of the tour from four of last year's top five finishers including Ivan Basso and Jan Ulrich. This led immediately to a wide open field in the chase for the yellow jersey. It seemed that each day produced another great winner, and it's all captured on this spectacular DVD, including Landis's breakaway in stage 17. The post race story is far from complete, but the race itself will undoubtedly go down as a notable chapter in the history of cycling's most legendary event. Please note that the entirety of stage 17, approximately 4 hours is included tin the 12 hour version.
