Stuff.co.nz talks to Julian Dean about the Tour de France footage he will have after tackling Alpe d’Huez with a camera taped to his helmet.

Said Julian: “Another cool highlight of Alpe d’Huez will be my 35 minutes or so of video footage I managed to capture on the way up. I had the bright idea of using a bit of Kiwi ingenuity and taping my video camera to my spare helmet. At the bottom of Alpe d’Huez, I swapped helmets and rode up wearing my ‘helmet cam’. I ran out of HD space just inside the final kilometre but that didn’t matter.”
