    • 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.

    Just plain unrealistic, which explains the bad rating
    As a cyclist and movie enthusiast, I thought I had to give this a try. Someone said you will like this if you like cycling but you can't be more wrong.

    I don't want to write spoilers but nothing is realistic at all in this movie, from the stage actions which are ridiculous and laughable, the events happening outside of the races (people dying, the love story, everything)...

    It's quite frustrating since so few movies about this subject are done, I would obviously have enjoyed and hoped for something better... You would expect the scenarists of such projects to try to get to know more about the subject the film is supposed to be about but they obviously didn't here...
