Video missing kilometres of Bergen Worlds elite men's race
Here’s the missing final kilometres of the elite men’s road race at the World Championships in Bergen.
The TV pictures were lost as the Bergen Worlds race entered the final 4km, with just the static cameras at the finish picking up the action.
It meant TV viewers all over the world saw the race until 4km to go. But then nothing until the cameras close to the finish picked up the sprint.
Thankfully the footage recorded from the TV helicopter has now been made available so we can see what happened.
