Europcar rider Kevin Reza deftly scooped up a dropped spectator's camera whilst riding in the Tour de France, and shot a film of himself.
The camera was knocked out of the fan's hand whilst he was watching the stage, and Reza reached down and picked it up. The resulting footage shows Reza filming himself and team-mates, before passing the camera to the team car.
The story doesn't end there, though, as the camera was returned to its rightful owner after his girlfriend got in touch with the Europcar team - with the footage still in the camera's memory.
Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, n exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
