It is great, but I have to go with Sunday in Hell. Whenever we ride over a rough patch I always sing the Paris-Roubaix song from that movie!

it's this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCO0KSXDZXc) atmo.
you'll see a young steve pucci taking care of his laughing gear.
it's called a sunday in hell because sunday was when he brushed.
he still has 14 of those teeth.

Now what you must do is listen to the music that is played while he is out training behind the scooter. Watch and listen a few times. Next, go to itunes and download David Monrow's album "Music Of The Crusades"...I especially like the song "La Quinte Estampie Royal." Immediately go out with your ipod and new found music and do a tempo power ride listening to this loudly. While riding picture in your mind's eye, that scene of Eddy motorpacing. Get your ancient Anglo on. Enter the sublime.
