For the record (I'm sure you know this), it's not ESPN that's producing the program. THey're just selling the time to air it.
The production is done by a freelancers hired by AEG to put together the package each day.
These descents have been insane (I've been in the caravan every day. Yesterday, I was on Johan's bumper), so I'll allow the camera guys a little latitude in holding on for dear life. While there are numerous challenges to producing the program, I have to admit I'm underwhelmed by the programs.

The rumor for today's stage is that "Yes, we'll have a helicopter for Route 1 along the coast."
Let's wait and see.
