I can highly recommend this documentary into this amazing complex character in sport let alone road cycling. I love his honesty and his no BS attitude. There were also interesting insights into his home life and how it affects his family whether he wins or loses or crashes. What I hated was having to listen to the greatest narcissistic drug cheat of all time Lance Armstrong. His arrogance astounds me and what ever he says means nothing to me and has no place in cycling. His response would be that he has seven yellow jerseys and I have none, but he doesn't, he got them cheating and being unapologetically abusive to those who stood up to him. Shame on you Netflix for giving him a voice.

This was so much better than I expected. This fly on the wall series allows you to feel what these brilliant women go through with playing proudly for their nation and having that weight on their shoulders. Hopefully, those that are not Australian will learn to appreciate what Australian sports men and women give up to reach their dreams and the effects of jet lag to achieve that dream for their national and club teams. The interviews with players and family was always interesting, especially seeing their lives outside football. Timing of the series is for the lead up to the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and does it perfectly.
