A sprint start to the cycling season
Le printemps s'annonce et la saison cycliste avec. Avant la Coupe de France et après notamment le Tour d'Oman, le mois de mars était marqué pour notre service HF de la captation de nombreuses courses cyclistes dont plus de 10 jours en Italie avec les Strade Bianche, la Roma Maxima, la course à étapes Tirreno-Adriatico avant le mythique Milan-San Remo le 23 mars. Plus récemment, nos équipes étaient en Corse, dirigées par Jean-Maurice Ooghe sur le Critérium International organisé par ASO et diffusé sur France Télévisions.
Important RF equipment
5 video-equipped motorcycles, 2 helicopters equipped with Cinéflex, 1 sound-equipped motorcycle, 1 relay helicopter and one relay plane, was the equipment deployed for the Milan-San Remo race. A set-up worthy of the filming of the Giro! All was managed by a Franco-Italian team devoted to the technical organisation of the teams on site.
WorldLinX Alliance in action
Exora, our partner and Italian member of WorldLinX Alliance was responsible for the production of the Italian tests. With WorldLinX Alliance, the pan-European business of RF services created by AMP VISUAL TV and Gabriel Fehervari, it offers a global solution with our Beechcraft 200 relay plane and the RF methods of AMP VISUAL TV. Throughout the month of March, WorldLinX Alliance's Beech Craft 200 plane will have been used over 5 cycling races including one six-day stage race...3 weeks of Italian races.
After the first stages of the WRC, SkiClassic, the Northern Lights (an exceptional live event on behalf of the BBC), just to name a few, WorldLinX Alliance is carving out a place for itself as one of the European leaders in RF.
The season is only just beginning
Our RF team will thus continue, in particular with the French Cycling Cup with CIS for France Télévisions and Eurosport (including the Denain Grand Prix or the famous Tour of Leon) and the Four Days of Dunkirk. With the motor sports season starting up again, (Formula 1, WEC and WTCC and the ERC and WRC rallies) the team is preparing itself for a particularly active few months.
