Doge- the video was “captured on the new Shimano Action Cam,” as the single sentence that comprises this article states.

Here’s a better version of this (split screen with the TV coverage) done by my buddy at In The Crosshairs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbPAc4CREAI&feature=youtu.be

Doge, Not Doge, and the rest of the Bikerumor.com faithful, we just wanted you to know that those Shimano cameras are being held on the Tour of California riders bikes by K-EDGE GOBIG Mounts. Shimano cameras are GoPro mount compatible and the K-EDGE Mounts smooth out the video because there is zero movement from the mount. That’s it.

As recently as last year a UCI official was giving a racer crap about wearing a GoPro. Has the UCI changed their tune – is this now OK – or was this a renegade video?

@slippyfish, UCI has decided to do a one time exception for ToCal. They want to see how the public reacts to it. I think that this will make TV more interesting, especially when they start move this to live streaming.

Awesome video. I’m all for it. A buddy of mine works over at Shimano and I’ve ‘played’ with a demo version. Very cool and IMHO much better than a GoPro.
