I felt as if I was riding uphill for most of this film. The central character was hard to root for and dramatically, it was all over the place.

Like the Tour de France bicycle race, this has its uphill struggles but there are also some high points.

An aging athlete struggles to stay ahead of the clichés but doesn't quite make it. Add to that an unnecessary romance and you have a film that has to show down while it goes around in circles.

Fortunately, some fresh directing choices, a strong showing by lead Louis Talpe and an interesting subplot (that should've been the main plot, tbh) about the year drugging took down the Tour de France kept the film interesting, even for those of us allergic to sports.
