I suppose though, what I found most disorienting was:

1. starting the coverage several km into the stage
2. the general ignoring of the guys leading the stage in favor the guys who are leading the tour - I often couldn't figure out how close they were
3. a lot of separation between commentary and picture, but I suppose that is just becoming more familiar with what each rider looks like; i.e. they would switch from shot to shot of these different clumps of guys, and I couldn't tell where in the chase they were oriented, since I can only recognize maybe 6-10 riders.

Thanks for the tips, fellas.

I wonder if Team Radio Shack is going to ask for Lance's phone number...
