Women's Road World Cup clips hosted on Cervélo website


Good news, women's racing fans!

Following women's cycling can sometimes be a bit frustrating, because we know a lot of the races are filmed, but we hardly ever get to see them. RAI are fantastic with their coverage of the giro Donne, and the UCI put up un-commentated mini-clips on their youtube channel, and sometimes we get little race reports too - but it's difficult, especially knowing that the biggest races are filmed and stored somewhere. But things are changing!

Last year, Eurosport commentator David Harmon's production company made a halfhour programme of the 2010 Road World Cup, which is on youtube - and this year we had a half-hour programme covering the Trofeo Alfredo Binda and the Ronde van Vlaanderen on British Eurosport. I know, I know, that's not so good for people not in the UK, but here's where the fabulous news comes in - Cycling TV and Cervélo have partnered to show the clips free of charge on the Cervélo website!

I'm so pleased about this - and especial thanks to Gerard Vroomen, who seems to really be putting his money where his mouth is in terms of promoting the women's sport. I know it's still not much, but it is a start - and of course, the more people who go and watch them, the more evidence there will be that people want to watch women's racing!

Thanks Gerard, CTV & Cervélo!
