Eddy Merckx, De zesde Tour
13 juli 1975. De koninginnerit van de 62e Ronde van Frankrijk brengt de renners over niet minder dan vijf cols van Nice naar Pra Loup: van het strand van de Côte d'Azur naar een mondain skioord in de Alpen, meer dan 200 kilometer landinwaarts. Als Eddy Merckx op de voorlaatste beklimming van de dag, de Col d'Allos, ten aanval trekt, is iedereen ervan overtuigd: Merckx is op weg naar een zesde Touroverwinning. Het record van de Fransman Jacques Anquetil - vijf overwinningen - komt dit jaar in Belgische handen. Met ware doodsverachting stort Merckx zich in de gevaarlijke afdaling naar beneden en begint met meer dan anderhalve minuut voorsprong aan de slotklim naar Pra Loup. Maar dan gebeurt iets dat niémand voor mogelijk heeft gehouden: plots stokt het ritme van de Kannibaal, hij komt nog amper vooruit. Tot hun verbijstering zien de achtervolgers Merckx weer voor zich uitrijden, één voor één halen ze hem in, en laten hem achter.

Middle child Gene is an aspiring musician with a thirst for life. Louise is the bunny ears-wearing youngest daughter with an off-kilter sense of humor that makes her somewhat of a liability in the kitchen – and with the public.

Wild Cards

Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
