I'm not saying ESPN is at fault for the order they presented things... I know the order was set by the race officials. What I'm saying is ESPN 2 allowed too much of the produced/edited program hour to the early rides and had to cram the last riders (many of the biggest names) into the final segments of the show. This was purely a producer's call, or error.
