The opening round of the 2011 Dextro Energy ITU World Championship series in Sydney, Australia is behind us with Javier Gomez and Paula Findlay the winners of that event. Aussie Pro Courtney Atkinson takes us all inside the bike segment with a GoPro camera mounted below his handlebars on a day when rain started to create a bit of havoc on course.

Several Pros crashed during this event including eventual race winner Javier Gomez, and American Pro Matt Chrabot actually went down twice.

Travel along with Courtney Atkinson to get a great perspective of the close action and some of the spills in Sydney.
