Ideas for scene 2- After scene 1 (the montage) I want to try and develop the audience's understanding of the character and his commitment to win and succeed. Scene 2 cuts to a conversation between Graham and his coach. In the scene the coach will never actually be in shot but he will be talking. The conversation will continue into the next scene but will act as a voice over. Here is the script for the coach:

"You need to hit it hard. You're V02 is weak. You need to motivate yourself, you're going to have to train into the night. You've deserved it mate, if you work hard then you've got a chance. The Americans think they've got this one, they've already starting to engrave their names into the fucking trophies! Lets get out there and show them how fucking hard you work. If you stick to the regime you will win.

(heavy sigh) Right then lets talk about the route. There are five stages in total which take you 700 miles across the pyrenees. It's 70% climbing so it's going to be tough on your legs, but you know how to train for that. It's going to be hot too. The average in the spring 25-30 degrees. Therefore you need to maintain your cardiovascular fitness. Your body fat needs to be around 4%. The steepest climb is a category 4 reaching 2000 metres so you definately need to train on your hills. Right I gotta go, I don't really trust you by yourself but I have to. Don't crash! See you next week."
