TdF 2014 S3 Team Sky bike cam YouTube stillVideo: On board with Team Sky as Tour de France heads into London
This may just be one of our favourite pieces of bike-cam footage yet – on-board with Team Sky on Monday’s Tour de France Stage 3 from Cambridge into the heart of London.
The film is shot with Shimano CM-1000 Sport Cameras attached to the bikes of Geraint Thomas (front facing) and Bernie Eisel. There’s some glimpses of Chris Froome, with the number 1 on his back –now missing from the race following his abandonment yesterday.
It’s nice to see Richie Porte engaging in a bit of joking with riders from other teams, showing it’s not all serious business all day long in the peloton; how could it be when you’re spending so much time in proximity over three weeks, including with riders who will be training partners or former team mates?
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Also, it's very 'jumped up' to judge that someone is 'jumped up' - without even knowing them.

Music. Bad.
I mailed David at Sufferfest this morning, he's just replied to confirm that yes, these vids will be turning up in ridiculously hard workout vids soon, complete with native sound where available. Result!
Awesome, and absolutely the way forward in TV coverage. So much potential - in fact, I think I'll explore it in a blog article
What is this compulsion to ruin great footage with music?
I can almost see myself on the Olympic corner!
We need this viewpoint on the TV coverage as soon as possible, so much more exciting and you can see so much more of how the riders interact.
Great video, but please stop putting bad club music on every cycling video. Please.
Great vid, can't wait to see the video on the Champs Elysees (if any rider has a camera onboard.....)
Fantastic vid,Interesting to see the guy getting hit by Lopez at 51sec He really was well off the kerb.
