Jittery Joe's team boss Micah Rice has been filming throughout the Tour de Georgia and posting the footage online daily.

"I've got every single sprint finish, but I've also got things like the pre-race team meeting where in six minutes of footage you can watch the entire team talking about the plan for the day," Rice said. "We have an interview with Cody (Stevenson) after his crash, road rash and all. And we have interviews with various people as the day moves on. We have a ton of stuff up there."

The videos can be accessed from the team's homepage, www.thebeanteam.com.

Rice has a small hand-held video camera that uploads directly to YouTube.

Team rider Jonathan Cantwell said the team has been getting a lot of feedback on the videos.

"The race footage is always good," Cantwell said. "It's good for the people who don't get a chance to come to the races to see what actually goes on."

Asked whether Rice gets carried away sticking the camera in the riders' faces after long days, Cantwell laughed.

"He's not that bad," Cantwell said. "He knows when to do it and when not to. We know we have a lot of supporters out there, so we really just do it for them."
