BBC2 08-07-2009 The Culture show Ralf Hütter interview Kraftwerk

Kraftwerk have wheeled out four British gold medal-winning Olympic cyclists to ride to their music at a show in the Manchester Velodrome.

The German godfathers of electronica played a two-hour set to open the Manchester International Festival.

They were joined by Ed Clancy, Jason Kenny, Jamie Staff and Geraint Thomas - who all triumphed in Beijing in 2008.

The quartet appeared from behind the band to ride in a wave formation during Kraftwerk's song Tour De France.

The cyclists' names were announced from the stage with a thick German accent a couple of minutes into the song, much to the delight of the crowd.

The wave formation was then mirrored by elaborate visual effects on screens behind the stage.
