Synopsis
California, June 2013. After months of intensive preparations, 4 German athletes start at the West Coast of the USA to run the worldâs longest and hardest bike race, the Race Across America (RAAM). One single stage of 3,000 miles leads across 12 federal states, 4 time zones and over 33,000 meters of altitude. For this huge adventure, the four triathletes want to reach Annapolis on the East Coast in no more than 6 days. Everything has been planned perfectly. But when an English team of four riders takes the lead, everything changes. It is the story about the longest and hardest fight between two teams of cyclists ever in the history of RAAM, a battle over 2,000 miles across America.
