Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2023, one day monument, April 8 (women's)

Facebook live feed figures during the presentation varied, as far as I saw, from 5 up to a maximum of 14, and grew to 39 by the depart fictiv. Obviously that is not the racing, not something that even I would normally watch, but it suggests that viewer demand is low.

However, I would be fairly sure that the vast bulk of the cost is in having the infrastructure there to broadcast it at all: the marginal cost of having an extra hour or so of coverage is probably fairly minimal. It will be interesting to see, if there are any notable events in the pre-cobbles phase of the race, whether theer were camaras following at this time.

how well publicised was it though they had that coverage? Id only have known it was there from it getting posted on here.

and absolutely the infra to broadcast is there, the camera bikes are all there, the plane to send the images back is going to be there, the broadcasting team selecting the images are all there, even the commentary teams are there, because youll see the images theyre capturing now later in the highlights. the only thing they arent doing is pressing the big go live now button.


so we're left scraping social media feeds to find out whats going on.

130km left, no breakaways succeeded yet.
