Inside a peloton sprint finish
Road riding is the beautiful elegant sport you see on TV when the tour is on Channel 4 and some of the best shots seem to generally be shot from the helicopter. That beautiful bit where the pack splits around a traffic island then regroups is so beautiful, and one of my favourites, the other being the way it lengthens out round a tight bend. It’s like a murmuration of sorts. But this video adds a completely different perspective from within that pack. It’s completely insane and there’s some incredible bike work within the back. The handling is superb§ and as for the speed… mouth wide open.
