Speaking on , the Dutchwoman said that she was very happy that the organisat🌺ion behind her home race, Amstꦜel, provided viewers with live coverage of what was an exciting race.
"We proved [at Amstel] that we should be on television, and that it's exciting to wat🀅ch – an🦹d that people are otherwise missing something, as a lot of people want to watch the women's racing," she said.
Both Van Vleuten 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:and her compatriot Anna 🦩van der Bregg🅺en (Boels Dolmans) expressed their disappointment that neither Flèche nor Liège were providing live TV coverage or live♔-streamed internet coverage.
"I think Amstel ꦛproved that it's a mistake by the other organisers not to provide it for t🧔heir women's races," Van Vleuten said. "It's nice that they organise the races really well, but they should also at least have a live-stream so that people can follow them.
"It makes me very sad that the next race is🌊 not going to have cov𝄹erage," she said ahead of Wednesday's Fleche, "but shout out to the Amstel Gold Race – they had a really awesome stream and live TV coverage."
Asked about the direction she fel🥂t women's cycling needed to take going forward, Van Vleuten toldꦯ the show that she thought women's versions of the most famous men's races had really helped the popularity of women's racing.

"It would also be nice to have a Paris-Roubaix for women next year," she said, ech🌞oing the opinion of many who'd like to see a women's edition of the cobbled Classic, nicknamed 'The Hell of t🧜he North'.
"It would be epic to have all the guys' races organised for us, and things are already improving. Amstel Gold has really shown that having both a mꦬen's and women's version of the race can really add something to each other," she said.
"I also felt at the Amstel teams presꦅentation tha🌌t a lot of the audience were not only there for the men who were racing, but for the women's race, specifically. And people watching on the Cauberg and on the side of the road had double the entertainment, because we also raced there. So I think this formula works super-well and can hopefully be a role model for other races.
"It's not that we have to copy the men's races," Van Vleuten added. "It's just very nice♛ to have the Monuments organised for women. You have a women's version of the Tour of Flanders, for example, and you d🐲on't need to explain what kind of race you're racing.
"It's also good to have standalone wom﷽en's races. The OVO Energy Women's Tour is a really good example: they organise an awesome race, with live TV coverage, and a lot of spectators come specifically for women's cycling. So it doesn't always need to be on the same day.
"And live TV coverage of every race is n🐟eeded," Van Vleuten said. "It's ridiculous that for the next two WorldTour races, there's no live TV coverage. That's something we need to improve."
