Dave Brailsford is the mastermind behind the phenomenal success of the British track cycling team which dominated the Beijing Olympics in 2008, winning seven gold medals and which is expected to repeat that success at London 2012. Road cycling is a very different ball game though. It's what the serious cycling fans watch and it's where heroes and villains are made. It is a sport that is rooted in mainland Europe - a land that is, in so many literal, metaphorical and cultural ways, foreign to Great Britain. British victories in the Tour can be counted on the fingers of a mitten; no Briton has seriously challenged for the maillot jaune - the yellow jersey of overall winner. Brailsford planned to change that and SKY'S THE LIMIT follows the gestation and birth of a brand new road racing team - the first British team to compete in the Tour de France since 1987. Team Sky set out on the road to Tour de France glory in January 2010. With exclusive behind-the-scenes access and interviews, SKY'S THE LIMIT follows the management and riders as they embark on their journey - witnessing their first training camp and team presentation in December 2009, their debut at the Tour Down Under in January 2010, their debut at the Tour de France in July 2010 and the reflections of a team, so used to success, on the lessons they learned in one the most gruelling races in world sport. Now fully updated to include the 2011 Tour; the fall out from Bradley Wiggins' early departure, the tug of love with 'the fastest man on two wheels' Mark Cavendish and the conflicts that could tear apart the British track cycling teams preparation for the London Olympics - including the possible absence of some of Team GB's biggest names.
