The Racer

The scene where the peloton crashes and all cyclists fall down on the last day of the Irish leg of the Tour de France was a real accident, it had not been rehearsed. It happened during shooting in Ireland, the actor playing Stefano Drago (Timo Wagner) stayed in the hospital 24 hours, before getting back on the scene with real scars.

In the bar Dom is listening to the song No Matter What by Boyzone. Later on the same song is played on a karaoke set. No Matter What wasn't released before August 1998, while the scene takes place in July.
