DVD Detour De France Documentary Phil Liggett - The Voice of International Cycling A film by Dan Jones. The Tour de France is the biggest annual sporting event in the world. In Detour de France, viewers get the chance to witness history in the making as Lance Armstrong sensationally snares his seventh straight victory. A million spectators each day. A media contingent of 5000. This documentary puts you right in the middle. Daniel Jones, a young Melbourne filmmaker, has made a unique documentary that takes viewers on a magical ride behind the scenes of the great race. Through the eyes of three Australians reporting on the 92nd running of Le Grand Boucle – the big loop, viewers will be outrageously entertained. The main character is John Trevorrow, an ex-pro cyclist who has covered 10 tours as a journalist. John is a four time Australian road champion, competed in the 1972 Munich Olympics and raced for four years as a professional in Europe. The second character is Denis Donoghue, a radio journalist who brilliantly narrates the film. Denis, covering his fifth tour, is your “straight guy” who speaks French with an Aussie attitude. He interviews various French characters in the tour, none more famous than five-time Tour De France winner Bernard Hinault and race director Jean-Marie Leblanc. The third character is Bill Schwarzenberg. Bill is what you could call the larrikin of the trip. A bit in your face at times, his official role is “press assistant.” Bill is really on tour to soak up the atmosphere and to make the most of his press pass. This gets him inside the fence and right next to the cream of world cycling. Bill, through his own inimitable style, manages to snag some of the best interviews in the film. The mix between the three is symbiotic. It just works!
