Don't assume that comparing AF to now represents change, the movie was a terrible depiction of bicycle racing at the time it was made. Entertaining, but inaccurate as hell. I was a high school roadie at the time and we all had such high expectations (ooooh, they filmed some of it at The Coors Classic!!!!!), what a letdown. Now worth watching for the cheese factor, but that's it.
I think I'm in one of the crowd shots, actually. I used to live near the brewery, and went to watch a few stages every year. Swam summer swim team with the Coors' kids. (Kids at the time, I think they're running the place now...)
And Ms. Parks paled in comparison to Cynthia Gibb's fine set (exposed in the cheese hockey movie Youngblood with Swayze and Lowe)
