Detour de France offers a fascinating look inside the world's biggest annual sporting event. The film focuses on three Australians reporting on the world famous cycling event. All three bring a larrikin humour to their antics, which propels the film from mere reportage to something more akin to attending a sporting event with 'the boys'.
From Colorado to Qatar, California and France, this documentary follows a year in the life of the U.S.-based professional cycling team Slipstream -- a group that's made it their mission to restore the good name of cycling. Sure, the guys -- including Swede Magnus Backstedt and Brit David Millar -- wouldn't mind a Tour de France invite, but they're even more passionate about inspiring the next generation of cyclists.

In July 2010, Laurent Fignon, the great cycling legend, commented on the Tour de France. Although the two-time tour winner of the 80s has incurable cancer, he follows as a reporter day by day the entire race. His doctor should treat him medically during the tour. After facing each other in disgust, the two men develop more understanding for each other from stage to stage. For Laurent, ending this tour means upholding life, even though broadcasting efforts are reducing the chances of a successful life-prolonging therapy.
