Andy Samberg and Murray Miller explore the high-stakes world of professional cycling in this sports mockumentary that deftly lampoons professional cycling and its checkered history with doping. The setting is the sordid, fictional 1982 Tour de France–notable as the only time in race history when virtually all of the competitors were doping, inadvertently creating a truly level playing field. The 38-minute special focuses on five competitors in the race: Marty Hass (Samberg), an oblivious white Nigerian; Gustav Ditters (John Cena), a pumped-up, rage-prone Austrian; Slim Robinson (Daveed Diggs), the Tour’s first African-American competitor; JuJu Peppi (Orlando Bloom), an ill-fated pace-setter; and Adrianna ‘Adrian’ Baton (Freddie Highmore), a female racer disguised as a man.
