Sacha Modolo winning Giro 2015 Stage 17 (on-bike footage still from Velon.cc on YouTube)On-bike video: Front row seat as Sacha Modolo wins Giro d'Italia Stage 17
Velon, the joint venture between 11 WorldTour teams, has released its latest on-bike video from the Giro d’Italia – and it’s a cracker, with a front-row seat as Lampre-Merida’s Sacha Modolo took the sprint win in Lugano as the race crossed into Switzerland.
That footage, which kicks in at about 2 minutes 20 into the video, was shot from the bike of Giant-Shimano’s Slovenian rider, Luka Mezgec, who finished third on yesterday’s Stage 17 behind Modolo and Trek Factory Racing’s Giacomo Nizzolo.
That highlights one feature of on-bike footage – pick the right rider on the right stage, and you can get something special, and that’s exactly what Velon managed to do yesterday with their choice of Mezgec.

Yeah, that fits. Already seen the helmets, shoes etc. rebrand as Trek. Scott are pretty similar with their Scott and Syncros branding.
