I have to say, again, that what really gripped me about the TCR last year was simply that people could choose their own routes between checkpoints. I find rides with a fixed route, like IPWR or TABR significantly less interesting.
That's true. The flip side, which Jesse really exploited on IPWR, is that with a defined route, you can do much better media coverage as you know where the riders will be to go and film / interview them.
