DVD source with English narration

\"Stars and Watercarriers, subtitled \"The 1973 Giro d\'Italia,\" is an excellent and highly entertaining film about Italy\'s most important bicycle race, the Giro. It\'s one of the three major three-week-long stage races for professional cyclists, along with the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España. The 90-minute film does a great job of capturing the true excitement of bicycle racing in a way that\'s highly accessible to newcomers to the sport as well as interesting for seasoned fans of the sport.\"
