If you haven’t been following the Tour de France over the past few weeks, you’ve been missing out on unprecedented footage of the race from inside the peloton. Although a few teams were granted special exemptions by the International Cycling Union (UCI) at last year’s Tour, this is the first year that each stage has been covered comprehensively by on-bike cameras, bringing viewers into the action and capturing images in a way that was not possible previously in the most prestigious of cycling’s Grand Tours.
Thanks to a new partnership between Velon and GoPro, and in cooperation with TdF organizer Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), eleven WorldTour teams have been filming the Tour using handlebar and seatpost-mounted HERO4 cameras.
