Production value on NBC Sports of stage one was HORRIBLE. Low rumbling (wind) in the background of commentary, everyone sounds like they are in a different studio. Lots of dead air. Christian Vande Velde has a solid cycling background, and is a nice enough guy, but he is not the most engaging commentary host. Bad motorcycle camera work, and on and on.
I hope they get it together.
I'm loving a good and important race on American soil, but the TV coverage stinks.
