Beth & Phil Harris

Having watched the highlights coverage of the race over a number of years we can only say we are very disappointed. Too much "talking heads" and very little of the race. For those like us who cannot watch the whole race live - over 4-5hrs each night - previous coverages have given a good view of all parts of the stage which ran the day before. The comments by Robbie McEwen and Mathew Keenan, during those highlights, were good and gave insight into tactics, as well as information on some of the spectacular scenery also shown. Now, all we get are multiple replays of specific "things" and "news clips" of small parts of the race. Just as easy to watch the news!
