Yes, but more confusing. It hurts my American Bike Racing brain. Also, I'm watching the RTBF satellite feed, with the announcing in a language I don't understand (French), and there's a black bar that says "Cette emission n'est pas sous-titree" blocking half the banners at the bottom of the screen, so I can only tell half of the riders in the break unless I want to use the rider numbers and start list on Cyclingnews.com (which is not completely accurate, as it seems Chavanel is in this race). Which I do.
It's all worth it. This is some real racing!
