Team Europcar cyclist Kevin Reza filmed several minutes from within the Tour de France peloton after finding a fan's lost camera at the side of the road.
The spectator's helmet camera was knocked down by another competitor, but the Frenchman picked it up to find it still filming.
The 26-year-old captured other riders as they made their way through Essex on stage three of the race, before eventually handing it to his team's car.
The camera was returned to its owner, who posted the footage on YouTube:
