Original Title ‘En forårsdag i Helvede’
Cast includes the great cyclists of another era:
Marc Demeyer, Roger De Vlaeminck, Freddy Maartens, Eddy Merckx, Ole Ritter
Chronicles one of the great one day spring classic bicycle races known as Paris -Roubaix. The film takes us from the carefully deliberate preparations of the racers, to the finish, only after passing through the hellish tests this race dishes out to its participants.
Overall a wonderful, historic film about bicycle road racing generally and Paris-Roubaix in particular. Many scenes stand out but the following two do so especially.
• Anyone who loves bicycles, especially their own, will relate to the opening five minutes.
• Anyone who has ever ridden in a group will appreciate the beauty of exquisite teamwork among cyclists as seen between minutes 34 and 35.
