I stumbled upon this while channel surfing on a recent trip. We don't have cable so it's sometimes a motel treat, as when I found this. Did not see it all but it looks like it's worth a watch.

I'd put it this way: If you know nothing about pro cycling, the TdP is funny. If you're a cycling fan, then TdP would be 30min wasted.

It was funny for the first few minutes and then even lots of high grade marijuana couldn't help. The best parts were in the trailers.

It had a few laughs, but I didn't really like it. Penises were shown and there was some gay humor. But with no female nudity (not even a bare breast) it felt unbalanced. I won't watch it a second time.

Are the women racers subject to drug testing?

You must have missed the Finnish commercial, then.

Soon as I go to the kitchen for a snack, they show the good stuff.

It was funny. I'm glad they didn't try to stretch it longer than 40 minutes, it would have stopped being funny.

I prefer my nudity unbalanced, but the other direction.
