GreatGusto Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Holy shyte. And that isn't even a big Sprint in the TDF.
MaXiMuM Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Ok, kudos to the racers... First time I have seen on board shots like that. Anyone got any more. And I time for some on boards of a TDF sprint finish.

I believe the Giant-Shimano team are going to provide the sprints for the TdF as well. Should be fascinating viewing. Here's the InCycle channel:
lone one Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Good grief!Cant believe the level of shouting and pushing around. Watching from our TV's you dont even remotely get the intensity within the bunchClearly pro racing is also not just about having the legs, it also about a serious set of "b***lls" if you look how close those guys are racingNew found respect! pe3nguin 1

Guest DieBees Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I just had a semi orgasm. It made me think of the old days when I was still in sprints... What a rush! Nowadays I only sprint to the toilet then Im alone with no competition. So it is much quieter on my way to the "finish line" Sportsworld.co.za 1
Stretch Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I am guessing it's that shimano wireless HD camera... They previewed it at the downhill the other day pe3nguin 1

Spoke101 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I race with the local Pro's on the road due to my age and some big hours on the bike and I can tell you that the bunch can become a dog show very quickly and being able to not touch your brakes, read the bunch and dodge wheels whilst getting switched at 60km/h is a talent I do not possess. I have hit the deck at +50km/h and it's not pleasant, but I luckily didn't have 20 guys riding into me which would be the case here or hitting some road furniture at 60kph here you also have minimal protection.I can also think of 2 to Pro's who have died in resent years from crashing, although this can probably be put down to rider error.Anyone who says that Road racing is for softies and isn't dangerous is a fool. Here is another, not as crazy though. MaXiMuM 1
