Voxwomen, the online cycling channel launched five months ago, has announced the debut of a pilot women's cycling television show to be aired exclusively on British Eurosport.
Appropriately titled the Voxwomen Cycling Show, it will bring unprecedented coverage of women's cycling to TV screens, including behind-the-scenes racing footage from major events in the 2015 women's racing calendar with footage from the Aviva Women's Tour, the Strade Bianche and the AMGEN Tour of California.
The show was part-funded by a Kickstarter campaign in response to calls from women's cycling fans for more televisual coverage of racing, which attracted significant support and exceeded its initial financial target.

Founded by UCI women's commentator Anthony McCrossan, Voxwomen is produced and presented by a female team including Bryony Burton, Kimberley Keay, Lois Dowsett and Laura Winter, with significant contributions from the pro peloton.
“Professional women’s cycling is an exciting spectator sport, and for a long time now the women’s peloton has deserved more media support," said McCrossan.
"We’re delighted that Voxwomen and British Eurosport can finally provide them with a platform to help to further promote the sport. I would also like to thank the teams, riders and events who are at the hub of this programme. We hope you all enjoy this first show and we’re sure that this will be just the start of further coverage of the women’s professional peloton.â€
