"Fake. Bike is computer generated; the ""cop car"" trapped by the trucks is actually the vehicle fleeing from the police in the real tape."

Very nice fake. I imagined that the road was a very steep downhill and the cyclist was going 50-60mph. However, the least believable part was not even that, but the cyclist's car-like acceleration right when the trucks were about to pin him. Accelerating that fast on a bike is physically impossible, no matter how steep the road. Nor could any cyclist ever come close to out-accelerating any car no matter how short the stretch of distance using one second, at most, of lead time.

This is actually a Specialized web movie
...see www.specializedmovies.com it's claled 'Outlaw in Lycra'
Pretty lame marketing gimmick that's unneeded for messages we're already interested in...somebody got way into an AdAge article.

Specialized, eh? I posted it as fun and still think it is.
You must be a hit at parties.
Try a combo of Apollo and Dionysus :-)
But thanks for the Specialized reference.
(Is the Specialized Angel lame and in your cross hairs too?)

Fell for what - a cycylist doing 80+ mph with rip roaring sprint faster than a car? I just didn't knolw oit was Specialized. It was all supposed to be fun, divertimentimo. Until cumbersome folks like you and Apollo anal-ize it. Have a sense of humor ... I'm buying.
