In the summer of 1998, the opening stages of the Tour de France are relocated to Ireland. Belgian Dom Chabol has been one of the best support riders for 20 years, a sacrificial role with victory never an option. But Dom secretly harbours a desire to wear the yellow jersey just once before his career is over. At the start of what will likely be his last Tour, Dom is unceremoniously dropped from the team he has dedicated his life to. As he gears up to go home and to face his estranged sister, a massive doping error knocks a team-mate off the Tour, and Dom is thrown back in the saddle. Sporting comedy drama, starring Louis Talpe and Matteo Simoni
