Ghislain Lambert's Bicycle....10 years old now....

If you haven't seen it yet is well worth watching and laughing.....



In the 70s, there was Merckx and there were the others. Ghislain Lambert was one of the others. This is his story, a quite simple one. The story of a modest Belgian bike racer. His greatest ambition in life? To become a champion. His greatest tragedy? Not having the legs his heart deserves.
