TdF 2015 Stage 4 crash (Velon video still)Videos: Cycling on the cobbles at Tour de France, plus team staff celebrate Tony Martin's win
Yesterday’s Stage 4 of the Tour de France took the peloton over some of the cobbles used in Paris Roubaix – and Velon, the joint venture between a number of top-tier teams, once again had on-bike cameras to capture some of the drama.
Shot from the bike of Simon Geschke, the video shows the moment riders including Dan Martin of Cannondale-Garmin and BMC Racing’s Samuel Sanchez crashed on a corner, and also features riders having a pee stop early on … quite why that’s in, we don’t know.
The stage was won by Etixx-Quick Step’s Tony Martin, who attacked 3km from the finish to ride into the yellow jersey.
Runner-up in the Stage 1 time trial then pipped to the race lead on each of the following two days as first Fabian Cancellara then Chris Froome took bonus seconds on the line, the German’s win sparked celebrations among his team management and staff, as shown in this video.

Now I'm very afraid. If they're falling back on "but all drivers are trained and we have road laws" as a safety measure all bets are off. As far...

Really? I think I'd hate to be Thibaut Pinot mechanic right now!
Awesome! Love that 2nd video, No idea what they were saying! But really great!!! I know I was super excited that he made it into Yellow, so good to see how excited they were!!
Hate to be 'The Guy' too but some of those cyclists were riding one handed, passing bottles to each other, pushing between cars and going far too fast through suburban streets. It's just not safe.
Oh wow... I hate to be "That Guy" but surely driving a) without seat-belts, b) with a phone in hand watching a video, c) using a remote control and d) generally like a fool, is not really that safe?
I'm amazed there aren't more incidents with support cars like what happened Flanders this year!
I must say though, the on-bike footage is fantastic! Let's see more of that on TV coverage please!
