(1) The bikes themselves. Non-cyclists that I know seem fascinated by the tech they're seeing on the bikes and would like to learn more about it, learn more about what goes into making a decision about what bike to use, etc.

(2) Behind-the-scenes support, from nutrition to training to mechanics/sponsors/leadership. How does one put on a race like this and what does it take to train for one? How does a young rider rise to this level? The F1 series did a nice job showing that.

I suspect all of this is to come in upcoming episodes.
