The Racer

　　Summer 1998 - the opening stages of Le Tour de France are relocated to Ireland. Belgian rider Dom Chabol (late 30s) has been one of the best "Domestiques" (support riders) on the Tour for the last 20 years. It's a sacrificial role - setting pace, blocking wind, and providing support to enable the team's sprinter to victory - winning is not an option. But Dom secretly harbours a desire to wear the yellow jersey - just once before his career is over. At the start of what will likely be his last Tour, Dom is unceremoniously dropped from the Team he has dedicated his life to. His best mate Sonny, the team masseur, fails to reassure him about his future. But a chance liaison with Lynn, a young Irish doctor, softens the blow, and Dom starts to accept - and even enjoy - the idea of civilian life. But as he gears up to go home and to face his estranged sister, a massive doping error knocks another teammate off the Tour and Dom is thrown back in the saddle. 　　译文(2): 1998年夏季环法自行车赛开幕阶段迁往爱尔兰。比利时车手 Dom Chabol (30多岁)在过去的20年里一直是环法最好的“家庭车手”(支持车手)之一。这是一个牺牲性的角色设置速度，阻挡风，并提供支持，使团队的短跑运动员赢得胜利不是一个选项。但是多姆心里却暗暗渴望穿上那件黄色的球衣——在他的职业生涯结束之前只穿一次。在可能是他最后一次巡回赛的开始，多姆被毫不客气地从他毕生致力的球队中踢了出去。他最好的朋友桑尼，球队的按摩师，没能让他对自己的未来放心。但是，与年轻的爱尔兰医生林恩的偶然联系缓和了这种打击，多姆开始接受——甚至享受——平民生活的想法。但是当他准备回家面对他疏远的妹妹时，一个巨大的兴奋剂错误将另一个队友踢出了巡回赛，多姆又重新回到了赛场。 收起
