  • The commentary on GCN+ has been really good so far. Knowledgeable and funny.

    Their highlights show is a bit rubbish though - no voiceover to explain what's happened between the time jumps, so here's a breakaway of 5, then suddenly it's a three, then suddenly there's no breakaway any more or a different one.

    Perhaps the ITV highlights shows (RIP?) have spoiled us, because they really were/are superb.

    Yeah last night's ended very abruptly, they didn't explain what happened to Remco at all and there was no GC leaderboard. I realised that despite coming off a second time he wouldn't lose GC time because it was in the last 3k, but I feel like a lot of casual viewers wouldn't necessarily have got that.

    I think they need to be a bit longer as well as better edited, you need a bit of context chat at the end - even if it's just a minute - and full results.

    Also ITV would clearly have played out some scenic footage of the race at the end with the tune I posted up thread or another track which wittily fitted in with the day's racing.

  • It does this a lot. I only watch the highlights programme and I have to google the GC standings. Another minute showing that and a brief interview clip would be great.
