In 2009 director Alex Gibney set out to film The Road Back, a documentary on cyclist Lance Armstrong's comeback year after a four-year retirement from the sport. Three years later, on October 2012, a doping investigation led to his lifetime ban from competition and the stripping of his seven Tour de France titles, and the documentary was shelved. On January 14, 2013, three hours after his appearance on Oprah, Armstrong went back to Gibney to set the record straight about his career.

Le réalisateur Pepe Danquart suit avec une équipe de trois cadreurs l'équipe cycliste Deutsche Telekom pendant le Tour de France 2003, notamment Erik Zabel et Rolf Aldag, amis depuis plusieurs années. Danquart montre surtout le côté humain des sportifs, la douleur et les faiblesses du cycliste et le battage médiatique qui entoure le plus grand évènement sportif annuel.

Ce documentaire filmé lors du Tour de France 1962, n'est pas un résumé de la course. Il permet de se rendre compte de l'ambiance avec la caravane publicitaire, du public sur le bord des routes, les motards suivant les coureurs et des anecdotes de cycliste. La caméra suit les abandons de l'Italien Zorzi et du Belge Van Looy.
