Jason Mitchell is used to enduring pain-a job requirement for a domestique on the amateur US national cycling team. When the team is decimated by food poisoning on a trip to Europe, Jason is left to fend for himself and finds himself engulfed in the cutthroat world of professional cycling. Amid the frenzy of a weeklong race whose victor will get a chance to race in the coveted Tour de France, he is torn between his feelings for Maria, his aloof Vespa-riding Luxembourg training coach, and Natalie, the flirtatious, sexy daughter of a prominent French cycling sponsor. In a foreign land, where cycling is a revered sport, Jason exerts as much effort to understand the complexities of life as he does climbing mountain passes.
