Blood, Sweat + Gears

In response to the doping scandals that tarnished the reputation of professional cycling, former racing cyclist Jonathan “JV” Vaughters formed Slipstream, a team whose members agree to compete without the aid of any performance-enhancing drugs. Documentary filmmaker Nick Davis chronicles the dramatic story of “the clean team” throughout 2008, a year in which the team leader was superstar David Millar — making a comeback after a doping scandal sidelined his career — and sees Slipstream win their first invitation to the Tour de France.
