Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Bay have been announced as the producers of a film about America’s first ever Tour de France cyclist, Jacques Boyer. Boyer became the first American rider to win the tour in 1981, but since 2007, has been living and working in Rwanda, training local cyclists affected by the civil war in the African country during the 1990s. Boyer works alongside Project Rwanda who provide locals with bicycles and aid, and DiCaprio and Bay have decided to honour Boyer’s incredible work by turning his story into a Hollywood blockbuster. The film will most likely focus on Boyer’s life, however no storyline or release date has been confirmed.
