Beijing Onebandlian and Hainan TV Station have teamed up to utilize the industry's best-performing Live 3G broadcasting system for news coverage of the event. Two LU-30 units and one LU-60 unit were used for backpack broadcasting, with camera operators on motorcycles carrying the live streaming equipment to transmit real-time footage back to the TV station. This provided a large audience following the competition with instant updates, elevating traditional television news and event broadcasts to a new level. It effectively saved the high costs associated with traditional satellite broadcasting, and multiple devices broadcasting simultaneously enriched the reporting perspectives. The 3G news broadcast has also become a new highlight of the round-the-island event.

The round-the-island race has entered its fourth day today, traveling from Sanya through various cities along the eastern route to Haikou. The event has been exciting, turning every location into a sea of joy. According to statistics from the organizing committee, approximately 400,000 people have experienced the captivating charm of the round-the-island race. The event has left four international judges from different countries in awe.
The operational team is pragmatic and efficient.
Thierry Diédran, the chief judge from Belgium, stated that this is his first time in Hainan for the round-the-island race. His officiating work over the past few days has given him a profound understanding of the event. He was particularly surprised by the high level of traffic security measures in place for the round-the-island race. "Even the traffic security for the world-renowned Tour de France cannot compare to that of the round-the-island race," Diédran said.
Although the personnel from the police, traffic police, highways, transportation, and health departments in the organizing committee come from different units, they function as a cohesive whole during the round-the-island race, addressing issues promptly and effectively, clearing various obstacles for a smooth competition. Diédran mentioned that it was very easy for him as the chief judge to coordinate everything. He stated seriously, "I plan to give a special presentation at the International Cycling Union forum to introduce the round-the-island race in Hainan, China."
The operation of the event is becoming increasingly mature.
Martin Bruin, an international judge from the Netherlands who served as the chief judge for the Tour de France in 2009, expressed that with the continuous successful hosting and gradually improving operations, the Hainan International Road Cycling Race is expected to reach the highest levels of international competition and become an important cycling event globally. This will help enhance Hainan's visibility and influence abroad. He noted that based on this year's preparations and the situation during the first four days of the race, the organizing committee's organizational and coordination capabilities have strengthened, with departments executing work directives more proficiently and cooperating seamlessly. Communication with international judges has also been very smooth; the invited athletes are of higher caliber, with comparable strengths and greater entertainment value. These mature conditions will significantly promote the round-the-island race as a truly international event, serving as a window for the world to understand Hainan.
Participation in the competition is harmonious and joyful.
Michael Robert, the chief referee of the first round-the-island race from Ireland, said: "I have become an old friend of the people of Hainan. I have participated in the round-the-island race several times, and each time I come, I have different feelings. I increasingly feel that the round-the-island race has become a joyful festival for the people of Hainan, a carnival. From the moment we set off from Sanya, a large number of local residents spontaneously gathered at the starting point to watch the race and cheer for the athletes. In every village and town along the route, men, women, and children waited at the intersections to welcome the racing teams. At the finish line of each stage, there were also many spectators holding cameras and video equipment waiting for the teams to arrive." Robert mentioned that what touched him the most were the elderly and women wearing straw hats or holding umbrellas, cradling children by the roadside. They are also participants in the round-the-island race. They stood on tiptoes by the road for several hours, with smiles on everyone's faces; when the racing teams passed by, both the elderly and young children cheered for them. In slightly larger towns, the crowds surged, and the cheers were overwhelming. Robert said that such an atmosphere only exists during festivals, and only true happiness brings about relaxed smiles.
Thoughtful and attentive reception services
Mr. Qiu Jijin, a renowned international referee and commentator for this round-the-island race, expressed that he was impressed by the meticulous and thoughtful reception work in the cities and counties visited by the teams. The hardware conditions of the hotels where they stayed have significantly improved compared to previous rounds of the race, and the quality of service has been further optimized, creating favorable conditions for referees, athletes, and support staff to quickly recover their strength and prepare for the next stage of work. At each stage, leaders from the local government were present on-site to provide guidance and ensure the implementation of tasks. After the teams arrived at the finish line, various support personnel performed their duties efficiently, quickly settling in the participants, maintaining equipment, and carrying out necessary wrap-up work, achieving high efficiency and excellent results.
