I thought the broadcast was very poor. I have no interest in interviews with dignitaries and travelogues about Alberta. I did a lot of fast-forwarding. I heard that they had technical difficulties on Stage 1 and that might be excusable, but a really good broadcaster would have had backup in place.

I had expected to see beautiful Alberta scenery and mountain climbs. Except for the badlands and the prologue in Edmonton, I was disappointed. As mentioned above, too much flat land.

I would love to see it succeed and I am sure the organizers will learn from their mistakes.
