I agree.
This series is turning into that definitive
look at the Great Event that we have all sought
for years.
I can remember how I felt when I first read
Ronnie Mutchs "Last Of The Great Road Races"
"Thats it!" (My equivalent of eureka!)
I felt that THAT book captured things so well.
The atmosphere generated by the program
and the insight into the characters that make
the event are spot on.

Mind you, the references to DJ (and I guess
Peter Jarmann) are pretty heart rending.
That closing pice in the last one was very
graphic.
