Tangent: Bicycle racing has a history of bad cinematography; you
certainly see it in old movies of Coppi and Bartali et alii, and you
see it here: the lame, would-be-dramatic slo mo, the -- a modern vice
-- frenetic cutting back and forth so that you can't focus long enough
to see the effing technique; the -- always, a constant -  effing bad
music. Oh well.
