It really is very good.

Called "Road to Glory, on Sky Atlantic, so it's repeated loads.

Sky Atlantic on Thursday nights. Shame it isn't on the normal channels so more people can get to watch it so they can see the work that goes on behind the scenes and the effort thats put in.

Not bad ,nice to look at, however it does come over like a long advert/ marketing exercise for team sky. I wonder if they will discuss employing Gert Leinders.

The female narration is awful and aimed at total novices to road racing. ("All of Sky's bikes weigh an optimal 6.8kg." Why 'optimal'?)

It would be a much better documentary if they had removed the narration and left the story to the people being interviewed.

But overall the show is interesting.

Optimal because it's the value that is lightest but still above the minimum weight limit surely?

I know why the bikes weigh what they do, but if the narrator is going to say something like that it's worth clarifying because otherwise it makes no sense.
