Young Rasmus Quaade has his mind set on becoming a professional racing cyclist. He puts all his energy and power into cycling. No matter whether street competitions or track cycling, it is his aim to become world champion in the under 23 category. With this in mind, no training unit can prove too long for Rasmus as he attempts to wrest the maximum performance from his body. It often makes him feel intoxicated, but he also experiences his body's limits. Rasmus' mother is his biggest fan and supporter, until he meets Michelle, who is also a racing cyclist. He works hard at achieving his goal of reaching the top in his sport within the next ten years. To do so, he must ride about 370,000 km, which equals the distance from the Earth to the Moon. He bows out of the World Championship in Australia before the end, but at the next one in Copenhagen he will give everything he has.
