SYNOPSYS:
For most of us, the cyclists at the back of the race are simply the losers. They are gregarious, called water carriers, the Sancho Panzas of professional cycling. “Wonderful losers” is about their great willing, their devotion and their ability to take over fatigue and pain to keep on cycling and give their personal help to the team. If they fall, they rise again and go on with the race: there is no space for surrender. The 21 days of the Tour of Italy are the perfect scenario for the odyssey of these gregarious and their guardian angels, the medical team.
