Summary:
This 4-hour version provides a good overview of the race. As usual, Phil and Paul do a nice job of narating the excitement. Hoever, I have to hear Paul Sherwin say, "The man is an absolute acrobat on the bike!" one more time I'm gonna hunt hive down and beat him with a rubber hose!

Strengths:
Good coverage of the climbing stages

Weaknesses:
Acrobats, acrobats everywhere!

Favorite Ride:
Tailwind going out, tailwind coming back

Bike Setup:
Carl Strong Frame with a Toshiba DVD player

Summary:
Good summary of the tour, with extra coverage on the time trials and mountain stages. Video quality is good, but like the previous reviewer, I was suprised at the 5:1 Surround Sound. You hear car horns and cheering coming from behind you, which ads a bit of realism.

Strengths:
Good tour summary, suprisingly good sound.

Weaknesses:
Expensive (As is virtually everything from WCP), It's not everything, but I didn't want 10 hours.

Price Paid:  $50.00 at Velotique in Toronto

Cannondale

Summary:
An excellent video of the tour. Hits all the highlights. Worth picking up.

Strengths:
DVD! Even done in surround sound, with the crowd chearing in the rear channels.

Weaknesses:
None.
