When a certain sport is your only reason in life, no sacrifice seems great!

A film about the life of cyclists. You will find out quite a few behind the scenes of this sport, things that one of them surprised me ... in what way, I will not divulge to you.

The film is very well thought out, realistic, extraordinarily played, the action does not stagnate at any moment ... worth seeing!

Tour de France racing

It's 1998. Dominique "Dom" Chabol (Louis Talpe) is a veteran riding his last Tour de France. His only job is supporting the younger riders. He's not supposed to win anything, but dreams of a stage win. Sonny McElhone (Iain Glen) is the team masseur and chief doper. Dom gets replaced before leaving for the tour. As he starts to accept his fate, he gets a second chance.

This is ripped from the headlines. Dom is such a quiet character. He almost has no colors except when he starts connecting with the girl. It's all about his racing. The last visual should be him with the girl. Instead of the trophy girls, he should walk off the podium to kiss Lynn like Rocky style. I like all the details, but this is a bit quiet.

Portrait of a natural born loser

If you are interested in the Tour De France and its whereabouts, about the hidden things around it, or interested in cycling races in general, this film is definitely for you. I loved THE PROGRAM, back in 2015, about Lance Armstrong; and also loved CONTRE LA MONTRE, a TV movie starring Olivier Gourmet, denouncing drug use for cycling races. This story takes place during the first phase of the 1998 Tour de France in Ireland. This movie, I repeat, is very exciting and interesting too, a good character study concerning supporting racers, and not always the big stars. In short, it shows this sport from another angle. So many details are shown, as for a documentary.

Very bad impression of professional cycling!

Not a single scene is in order with reality. 4 stars because the acting is not bad at all. Mediocre try of a fine subject! Too bad its nothing more than a bad try. Belgian main character (Mega Toby) does some fine acting though....

The scene where the peloton crashes and all cyclists fall down on the last day of the Irish leg of the Tour de France was a real accident, it had not been rehearsed. It happened during shooting in Ireland, the actor playing Stefano Drago (Timo Wagner) stayed in the hospital 24 hours, before getting back on the scene with real scars.

In the bar Dom is listening to the song No Matter What by Boyzone. Later on the same song is played on a karaoke set. No Matter What wasn't released before August 1998, while the scene takes place in July.
