The Racer will attract fans of cycling and those who enjoy a good drama, as it’s a fresh take on the sports drama formula. Read full review

Nikki Baughan

Talpe is excellent in the lead, his tightly-honed physique an increasingly transparent veneer for his troubled emotional state. Read full review
