Script extraxt: Laurent Fignon biopic (part two)

Published by Halverde on 6/03/2006 at 13:01.

INT. SUPER U TEAM BUS, JULY 23 1989.

LAURENT FIGNON has just finished 58 seconds behind GREG LEMOND in the final stage of the Tour de France, losing his overall race lead in the process. His manager, CYRIL GUIMARD, is waiting for him. Or so he thinks.

FIGNON
Well, I lost by eight seconds.

FIGNON
Why, there's a hatch open on your chest, revealing some electrical innards.

EVIL ROBOT GUIMARD
GARRRRR!

FIGNON
Uh oh!

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?
