Capturing the Move TdF26-90
The race is filmed by a minimum of four TV Motos and at least two camera sporting helicopters. Throw in the stationary cameras at the intermediate sprint and the finish, there is quite a good chance of capturing all of the main action of any stage of the Tour de France. I always enjoy when one cameraman catches another at work. So it was with this Moto filming what looks to be the winning move off the front of the break by Mauro Schmid (Jayco-Alula) and Harold Tejada (XDS-Astana). The pair had opened up just nine seconds on their erstwhile companions as they raced the final fifteen kilometers into Belfort. They were helped by Schmid's teammate, Luke Plapp discouraging the chase behind.
