Why are The Tour of Oman highlight videos so crappy?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What am I missing? All the stage highlights are crap with just music and no commentary. I just go to Youtube, is there somewhere else?

I like on how some of the spectators look "staged" (with the exception of a handful).

I've been watching them on Eurosport2 over here and I can tell you they look no better on TV. It has to be that they're using really ****ty cameras. Or somewhere along the line they decided to bump the resolution down to broadcast it.
