Hi Zwift
We’re missing out on some of the action because the TV coverage is limited. Please can you work together with ASO to improve this?
The limited coverage really is a disgrace. It’s like the men’s used to be many years ago, when we had to sit and wait for the live feed to start, knowing we were missing out on racing.
I would like to Watch The Femmes. ALL of it.
Quite frustrating indeed. Stage 3 started with a cat.1 climb and we saw none of it. Today’s TT is another story considering only the specialists and GC contenders will give it their best, but tomorrow is another stage with a climb right off the bat.
Hopefully, Zwift can relay this to all interested parties. TDFF is more open than the TDF. Yesterday’s stage was brilliant. We want to see more of it.
Thanks.
It’s really disappointing that women’s sports are still treated as a “2nd class citizen” in this day and age.
The excuse will be the “money”, that one side brings more than the other… well, then use that large influx of money to subsidize the other side.
Kudos to Zwift! without your support the TdFF would not be possible.
Thats true and in some other sports it is even worse in my country. They have normal full-time day jobs and structure the sport around that. One of my former colleagues was an Olympic gold medal winner who did exactly that. That means extreme hours of training then work - leading to potential burn out.
But I don’t even watch the men’s side of bike racing either as I ride a lot myself. Between that, work and some other things, there is no time. I am not the only one in that case.
Nobody’s happy about the curtailed broadcast, and everyone is letting ASO know.
There was a comment toward the end of today’s (US) coverage indicating that tomorrow’s (Wednesday) stage will be shown in its entirety. I hope that’s true.
Stages 1, 5, and 9 will be broadcast in full. Or at least filmed in full by the ASO/France TV. All other stages have reduced coverage.
Stages 5 and 9 will be broadcast in full on France 2 
Update on the TV coverage from the race director:
What a great race today.
Fantastic Stage! So much nicer to watch a race with more equilibrium between adversaries
