I searched and didn't find anything in BF. The link below is to a sample of 360 degree video footage of a race. It isn't very long but it's a cool demonstration of awesome technology. Being able to rotate the view adds a whole new dimension to watching a race.

So I'm watching the video and my five year old son walks up...
Him: What's that?
Me: It's a bike race.
Him: Why are there cars?
Me: The cars are there to help.
Him: So if they get too tired, they get in a car?
I am not sure he has a future in competitive cycling.

At first I was just staring at the video, didn't bother to translate or read your post fully.
After 20 secs I thought, this can't be right.. so I did a click & drag..
WOW! Just WOW!! Thanks for sharing!

Hmmm - this has been around in still photography for a couple of years. Interesting to see it applied to video but it makes sense.

Agree with the guy above that says interesting from a technology standpoint. Pretty much worthless from a racing standpoint to me. I ended up doing one full 360 and then basically just stared dead ahead for the entirety.

LET'S ROLL
I'm using Chrome as a browser. It asked me if I
wanted the Dutch website translated to English,
I pressed yes and here's what I got:
"A big week for the Tour of Flanders we drove in a special 360-degree camera into another spring classic: Tour of Flanders. This camera has the strong property that he films it all. For you to own cameraman to play and whenever a new framework to make."
My thoughts exactly
