What is coverage of women's events like in Europe, where cycling has been a *sport* since a very long time ago? Cycling has only been a *sport*, meaning recognized as such by the Joe-on-the-street, here in the US since Lance started winning TdF.

You'd think advertisers would gladly sponsor an hour or two of hot betties in lycra suits flexing their well-toned rears .
I agree - there are alot of women out there who would watch, and the mens audience would grow too
I guess it has to be sold to advertisers as a glamour event (like the Tour has been) and then the money will fall into place for coverage
Communities have to keep badgering networks and letting them know we wnat coverage - if they don't hear us, they won't respond
