This is Touching the Void on wheels! A story of endurance, strength and determination as the CSC Pro-Cycling team take on the world’s most arduous sporting event, the Tour de France. Told through the eyes of the 1996 tour winner Bjarn Riis, he’s a man with high hopes for his team, particularly newcomer Ivan Bassa, who with Lance Armstrong’s help has to overcome his personal struggles before he can enter the Tour. Packed with never-seen behind the scenes footage, it’s a great way to see what it takes to be a champion!
