    • Trivia
      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.
    • Goofs
      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.

    Good movie

    Its properbly not a 100% true insight of a Tour De France racing team, but it gives an insight of the dramas and the doping in a team. This takes place in Ireland 1998 where the Tour begins. And we follow a man in a team during the first three races in Ireland, before the Tour continues in France. Its a fairly good movie with lots of drama, and there is also room for a little love story :-) See it as a movie, and not as a documentary.
