VIDEO: On-board footage of Tour Down Under stage one

Jeremy Roy rides with camera on opening day of WorldTour season

The new UCI WorldTour season is underway in Adelaide, with stage one of the Tour Down Under seeing Jack Bobridge (UniSA-Australia) triumph from the break. 

Last season we saw a number of riders use on-bike cameras to bring us wheel-to-wheel action from inside the peloton and that looks set to continue in 2015, with the newly-formed Velon group putting broadcast innovation high on the agenda.

Jeremy Roy (FDJ.fr) was the man to ride with a camera on stage one of the Tour Down Under, providing a peloton’s-eye view from the Frenchman’s bike.

Check out the highlights in the video above, which sees the peloton tackle the climb of Checker Hill and a number of riders nearly get caught out by a fast, sharp bend as the chase heats up.

Roy finished in the peloton on a day when the break succeeded, meaning stage winner Bobridge will wear the ochre jersey on stage two.
