Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be Sean Kelly’s stem? Well there’s no need to imagine any longer as Chain Reaction Cycles has released this nifty 360° interactive video, which takes us down a rather spicy looking descent piloted by the legendary ‘King Kelly’.

The 3.6km descent between Bala and Llangynog in Wales will feature as the finish of stage 4 of this year's Tour of Britain, the longest stage of the event.

Reaching speeds of 80km/h and taking corners with the confidence that only a hugely experienced rider can, Sean Kelly talks us through the descent with a slightly alarming air of calm that we would struggle to maintain given the pace he is riding.

Such a high speed finish is bound to make for some really exciting racing and we’re looking forward to following this year’s event.
