This collection of music is fantastic! I've been listening to it constantly, and with no distractions around you truly feel like you are there.
Really looking forward to more volumes being released.

Robert,
Really appreciate your feedback and greatly agree about the soundtrack. I was watching highlights of the Giro a week or so ago with the album playing and it really does evoke/work with the 'feel' of the race.
The Tour collection is impending.
Cheers

Matt,
downloads are only available in the UK I'm afraid due to licensing issues. But the CD edition is worth having as it features some sublime photography and design.
Mike,
Tom Southam was certainly involved as a music guru for this album and is being consulted on the next instalment. Looking forward to hearing the Tour album!
