Enjoyed the race this year. In contrast to the other posters I thought Dean Downing was quite 'sweet' on TV and enjoyed Graham Jones's commentary. Having the race director commentating gives a good insight on what he was trying to do when he designed the route.
Great to have the race becoming more and more high profile and attracting the bigger teams, the only downside is that it probably means the domestic and smaller teams will find it harder and harder to get much coverage in the race. It was awesome last year when Thomas de Gent smashed it off the front every stage; I wonder where he was this year. Having said that, Endura seemed to do pretty well.
