Lotto-Soudal were active throughout the 99th Tour of Flanders, with Lars Bak in the day’s breakaway and Andre Greipel lighting up mid-race proceedings with plenty of accelerations.

Bak was one of the riders with a camera mounted to his bike and the resultant video shows his attack off the front of the bunch to join the men up the road.

Bak’s rear-facing camera shows how he comes from the belly of the peloton and skirts the outside of the bunch before reducing it to a mere speck on the .

It’s another interesting clip which shows life inside the peloton – and from part of the race rarely seen by TV viewers – but the next step is to integrate key data, as is the case in Formula One. What power does it take to escape the peloton? What was Bak’s heart rate. What was his cadence? Including that data – and making this footage available in real-time – would add a significant new dimension to television coverage.
