DVD Reviews of 1999 Tour de France 8-Hour Remastered

DVD Review: Armstrong Rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars

Lance Armstrong's first Tour de France victory is a must have for fans - his mountain stage victory is worth the price of the entire set. The video feed quality is generally good (there are occasional bad spots, but it's Lance - who cares!). Phil and Paul are in their usual form as commentators - you've got to love the patter (especially Paul's - he suffered up those climbs!).

DVD Review: Welcome back to cycling!
Summary: 5 Stars

I enjoyed the remastered dvd collection a great deal. All 7 of Lance's Tour victories were of course fantastic in themselves but seeing the first was fantastic. The dvds are definitely a much better quality than the vhs and so much more to watch than the previous 6 hour 1999 - 2000 Tours collection. An excellent addition to a dvd library.

DVD Review: 4th DVD was misrecorded
Summary: 1 Stars

The DVD set is great until the 4th DVD - half way through , during the last mountain stage, the recording changed to some documentary from the 2004 Tour. Missing the last 5 stages took a little out of the Tour.

DVD Review: What I wanted as ordered
Summary: 5 Stars

Great 4 disc set of the tour. Exactly what I wanted and arrived in perfect condition.

Thank you!

DVD Review: The miraculous return of Lance Armstrong
Summary: 4 Stars

While the majority of the stages are covered in a couple minutes, most of the 8hrs are spent on the 4 mountain stages, resulting in the best images from this tour. We mostly witness the battle opposing Armstrong, Zulle and Escartin, the major players. Other riders such as Virenque, Etxebarria, Heulot, Tonkov, Guerrini, Cippolini, Livingstone and Team Kelme also offer inspiring performances.
Minor glitches in the filming cause some forgettable image problems. Having to switch DVDs in the middle of the action while training is somewhat disturbing. Some time spent discussing the doping scandals. Most of the Tour deciding crashes are not on film.
Great replay value. Awesome while indoor training.

Description of 1999 Tour de France 8-Hour Remastered

Leave it to a heroic Texan to guide America's incredible emergence as a great power in professional cycling. In our years of covering the world's greatest bike race, we've witnessed the Tour de France exploits of LeMond, Indurain, Riis, Ullrich and Pantani. But with impressive victories against the clock and in the Alps, former cancer patient Lance Armstrong unifies fans and riders alike in the most inspirational sports comeback story of all time. Fellow Americans Hamilton, Hincapie and Andrea support their leader perfectly as he battles against all odds, perhaps saving cycling's tarnished image along the way, exactly ten years after American hero Greg LeMond's own return from a near-death experience to the top of the podium in Paris. Can Armstrong fend off the scandalous European press, survive the Pyrenees and make it all the way to Champs Elysees in the yellow jersey? Can he avenge the heartbreaking, high-speed crash of countryman Bobby Julich, the pre-Tour favorite? Packed with action, exclusive interviews by Paul Sherwen and roaming reports by Gary Emlach, this is a must-see video surely to become a collector's item. Approximately 3-hours.
