**minor spoilers** Two new cyclists, Qiu Ming (Eddie Peng) and Qiu Tian (Shawn Dou), are recruited to support a sprinter, Jeong Ji-Won (Si Won Choi) in team Radiant. They had contrasting styles, while Ming was brash and daring, Tian was hard working and persistent. They soon moved to other teams where each became a leading sprinter for the team. Ming and Tian had mutual interest in a recovering sprinter from the woman's team, Huang Shi Yao (Luodang Wang). Ming found early success and challenged Ji-Won for the championship. Later as Ming's star faded, Tian started winning but burned quickly. Ming and Tian then worked together with their old coach to return to competition. —gruenekaefer

For "dream chasers"
At heart, this is a rivalry and friendship movie, heavily carried by the cycling sport content. It has great production and locations (like a real cycling tournament was organized). Eddie is (again) a great lead! Not only is he very charismatic, at this point, I'd believe he is capable of doing almost anything.
Anyway.. The entire movie is rather awkward. Like an entire soap opera summarized and crammed into 2 hours. With noticeable editing-cuts that feel more like they belong in TV, scarce depth in drama at times (which is not always a bad thing) but sudden spikes in intensity, and lack of a proper foundation. Still, the structure and development of the plot is well balanced and enjoyable. Was surprised on the evolution of the characters and the turns it took. Again, because it's awkward in it's delivery, I was expecting something more straightforward.
I enjoyed watching it, and more so, the rivalry/friendship between the leads.
** The popular "Yowamushi Pedal" anime is a great introduction to the world of cycling! This movie is quite the opposite. It has a fast-paced start, directly into races. It's made for people that are in the known about the intricacies of this sport, but even so, it can be easily followed.
