Il giorno prima, l'attesa lieve, agitatissima: cosa accadrà? E poi è il giorno. Lo stadio è una muraglia di colori, di cori, di rumori. Ai lati del percorso gli appassionati di ciclismo si accalcano, attendono, scalpitano sui sandali. Sfilano i campioni in campo. I panchinari. Gli arbitri. Il quarto uomo. Sfilano i campioni sulla strada. I gregari. I fotografi. I suiveurs e i giornalisti. Il durante e il dopo. L'attesa, la tensione, la rassegnazione, la gioia. L'euforia. La poesia. Questo è un audiolibro di sport, di calcio e di ciclismo. Di poesia.

Fra Coppi og Bartali til Vingegaard og Pogacar fra 1940’erne til 2020’erne, fortæller Jørgen Leth de seneste firs års cykelhistorie. “Jeg lægger det ind i cykelløbene, som jeg ser. Det er min historie. Cykelrytterne kører på cykel. De kører fra et sted til et andet. De kører op, og de kører ned. Den, der kommer først, har vundet. Undervejs sker der nogle ting. Så enkelt er det. Ud af disse enkle hændelser træder personer, som ser direkte ud af billederne i et forsøg på at lave noget uventet. Vi er klar til at se det og indramme det. Det bliver billeder i en ramme."
