Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
In this look at the CSC cycling team's arduous trek to the 2004 Tour de France, Danish cycle guru Bjarne Riis leads his ragtag brigade of skilled riders on an against-all-odds mission to take the legendary race at any cost. Though Team CSC boasts an impressive array of athletes including noted Italian cyclist Ivan Basso, the challenge to emerge from cycling legend Lance Armstrong's ever-looming shadow forces the team to push their bodies to the very limit of human endurance.
