If you’ve got Tour de France fever than mark your calendar for July 22nd when the film Chasing Legends comes to town.

Chasing Legends is the latest from filmmaker Curtis Winsor and his Gripped Films crew. The movie gives viewers an inside look at big-time professional road racing as it follows team HTC-Columbia through their 2009 Tour de France campaign.

Here’s the blurb:

“There is no greater sporting event in all of cycling than the Tour de France. Chasing Legends touches on the rich history, passion and true grit of The Tour as seen through the eyes of Team HTC Columbia along with commentary from Phil Liggett, Paul Sherwen, Eddy Merckx, and some of the sports most prolific heros. With a stunning array of HD cameras, on-bike cameras, and poignant and touching interviews, “Chasing Legends” will take viewers deeper into the pro peloton than ever on a roller coaster ride of action, story and emotion.”


And the trailer gets me fired up every time I watch it:
