Chasing Legends.jpgChasing Legends Tour de France film set for UK screening + video trailer
The blood, sweat and tears of the Tour de France in full HD is coming to the big screen this month as the film “Chasing Legends” receives its International Premiere on October 21, the film will be screened simultaneously in 50 locations around the UK followed by a live video Q&A session with Mark Cavendish, Phil Liggett and the film’s director, Jason Berry will be beamed via satellite from London’s O2 Cineworld to each cinema.
The film chronicles the participation of the HTC Columbia team – and notably Mark Cavendish’s role - in the 2009 edition and is cut together with interviews with riders who are inextricably linked with the Tour, including Eddie Merckx and Lance Armstrong.
It also tracks the humble but no-less heroic origins of ‘Le Tour’, from the inaugural 1903 event to what has become the modern-day epic.
Follow this link to find which of the 50 British locations, at which it will be screened is nearest to you.

Add Scotland to that list. You won't even find a dashcam reporting portal in Scotland either so you can forget that also.

TBF I think that's before she saw the light and got on her bike. Not so great if her views have been informed by Mr. Briggs though.

That's a great price. Just bear in mind Import duty and handling charges will be applied pre delivery.

One less thing to clutter up your jersey pockets no? Though difficult to retrieve in a hurry...

might see you there Tony.
£13.30 including booking fee for Bristol - yikes! Still, probably will go
Have my ticket for the Bristol showing.
Should be a big group of riders from the local clubs turning out!
Cheers for this article btw!
Cheers Othello, but I'm actually about 15 miles northwest of Oxford and I don't drive
Mind you, local station has trains direct to Reading...
Nowhere near Oxford, sadly
I suppose it's difficult to compare the prices to standard cinema tickets... it's a different animal to a Hollywood blockbuster, one-off event plus the Q&A feed, I don't imagine the costs of putting something like this on (and publicising it) are cheap and you have to factor in the risk of not selling all your tickets.
Of course, we're lucky when it comes to road cycling because events are free to spectate, I suppose if you look at ticket prices for the screening in the context of going to see even a non-Premier League football side it's a bargain.
I is on at Reading, which is only 30-40 minutes drive away.
£15 in Didsbury! Rips!
Think we'll be popping along to the Bristol screening
There is the live Q+A session with Cav to watch too. Local flicks cost £7 here in the Shire, cheaper on Tues, and Orange Weds too. Hmmm. I know how stunning the scenery shots are going to be though, and how often do we get to see Le Tour on a giant screen? I might look out for any shots of Spanish meat trucks around the Astana bus too. That and private ambulances delivering blood.
Well, a child ticket is £7 at our local Odeon, think an adult ticket costs more like a tenner so don't think it's that way out of line… although it probably also explains why I don't go to the cinema as much as I'd like to these days
£12? crikey! i don't get out to the cinema much but i'm sure it wasn't that salty when i went last
£12 a ticket at the cineworld in B'ham. Possibly too much for my shallow pockets!
