Filming the Leader. PR24-13
I toyed with the idea of calling this one “following the leader” but felt that filming the leader was more apt. In just twenty kilometers, Mathieu Van Der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) had stretched his lead to just under two minutes over the chasers behind. They were being frustrated by his teammates latching onto their efforts but not putting in any pulls to bring back the Rainbow Jersey. It is always stunning to see what the camera men and women will do on the back of a speeding motorcycle to give us all engaging images of the sport we all dearly love. Of course, this camera angle is from underneath the hovering helicopter.
