An amateur rider in Australia has shot this video, first below, on a ride out in Australia as the pro teams limbered up for the Tour Down Under.
The cyclist tags on with a number of teams, sitting on the back of their group. However, when he joins the QuickStep squad he gets a little more than he bargained for.
After a period the riders pulled in for a drink and chat. And it's decided they'll do some lead-out work, with Elia Viviani in the group.
The amateur cyclist shooting the clip decides he's going to trying and hang in. He gives it a good go but doesn't get too far.
And it's interesting to see just how far of him some of the riders get in a very short space of time.
There are also a few more clips below from the Tour Down Under including Alex Dowsett bringing us back stage, highlights of the final stage and Matt Hayman's interview as he ended his 19-year career yesterday.
