Ghislain Lambert's Bicycle

Why does a man keep riding in the shadow of Eddy Merckx, with no hope of ever catching him? Ghislain Lambert (Benoît Poelvoorde) is a modest Belgian racer in the 1970s who wants to be a champion and does not have the legs his heart deserves. Philippe Harel follows him on the bike, Poelvoorde bent over the handlebars, and the road runs ahead of him.
