Here's a teaser clip for the new Paul Kimmage documentary 'Rough Rider' which is due to be broadcast on RTE One next Monday night at 9.30pm.
The fly-on-the-wall style production followed Kimmage for two years, including on last year’s Tour de France, the 100th running of the race.
The cameras were also there as Pat McQuaid and the UCI announced it was suing him only to later cease that action and for the period when the former pro turned journalist and author launched a counter legal action.

The film is 90 minutes long and has been eagerly anticipated by many fans of the sport.
The cameras also followed the Dubliner during the period of the downfall of Lance Armstrong and the period when McQuaid ran for the UCI presidency and lost the office.
Dublin-based Wildfire Films said of the project in a preview release today: "Filmed over two years, this documentary feature film brings you into the world of professional cycling.
"Told against the backdrop of the fall of Lance Armstrong and the 2013 Tour de France, we follow former professional cyclist turned journalist, author and anti-doping advocate Paul Kimmage on a journey of loss and redemption."
