Nieuwe helden

The unique behind-the-scenes story of a cycling team determined to prove that you can still win without doping. In the 100th edition of the Tour de France, the young Dutch Argos-Shimano team is out for revenge against the old guard that has corrupted cycling through years of doping. Knowing that EPO was primarily used by riders aiming to claim the yellow jersey in the mountains, this team has specialized in sprinting. Haunted by the shadow of its doping past, but driven by inner conviction and strong team spirit, Argos-Shimano has set its sights on winning a stage in the Tour for the first time in its history and on reaching Paris together as a team.
