RCS Sport and host broadcaster RAI (Radiotelevisione Italiana) have reached an agreement allowing race footage to be broadcast live from on-board cameras mounted on a number of bicycles, starting in stage seven of this 99th Giro d'Italia.

For the first time in the history of the Corsa Rosa, an HD broadcast camera sending a live feed was installed on the one of the bicycles used in the race, giving fans a taste of what it is like to be in the saddle, right in the heart of the race. Thanks to the goodwill and co-operation of the Gazprom - Colnago team, who also took part in the testing procedures, the first rider involved was Russia's Andrey Solomennikov.
