Nice
I've seen the Tour de France a number of times in France and this year in the UK and France. I've also been to quite a few stages of the Tour of Britain and enjoyed the stages of the Giro D'Italia in Ireland this year. When watching I've always fancied being 'inside the ropes' and looked at NEG but due to other commitments on my time, I never took it further.
Its now something I wish I had done earlier.
Very envious :yes:
This is something I would also be interested in, but I have a question about the stripes on the rear of your panniers. Shouldn't the left side bag have the stripes angling down to the left?

The stripes on the tape only ran in one direction and I hav' nt been able to find any tape that runs in the opposite direction yet. Sorry!!!!!
:shocked: :embarrassed:

Here's a short film from a cycle race this year that Ali and I worked at.

Ram mounts:

the flat plate is intended to go onto brake or clutch reservoir but I used it to give a flat plate to then attach the Drift mount. When Im at cycle events I add a short ram extension to get the camera away from the screen sign.
I now also use a tether to stop camera escape!
I don't have a rear camera
Hope this helps

Cheers good use of the plate as they don't fit onto the reservoir
Some real pushbike chasing.

Excellent footage.

Sorry to be a Killjoy but is that level of danger / risk / inconvenience / cost etc. really justified for a load of pedal pushers?
Either fully closed roads as per motorcycle road racing, or as with motorbikes ... get on a track.

Loved it so jealous ;)
That was brilliant!

Try telling that to this load of cyclists, oh, and just to hold your interest there's about 20 + GTR's of various colours in the video!!

Each to their own: I first saw the NEG when I went to watch the Tour of Britain a few years ago and subsequently got involved to get a new challenge and do something different on my bike. I enjoy it, get a contribution towards the cost of doing it, have met some really good people as a result of being involved in cycle racing and had the opportunity to work at the 2012 Olympics and this years National Road Championship Road Race
Regardless of the status of the event from Club level to elite, the riders always say THANKS to us.
AND riding in and around racing cyclists certainly keeps your observations sharp!
