Yesterdays coverage...... There is a 30 second background noise loop they kept playing. Moto noise, some girls going whooo, then loop.

Is this new?

So, there is no commentary this year? I sat down to watch the first 3 stages today. I can understand the rain causing issues, but no commentary on today's stage either?

The quality of coverage of the race definitely does nothing for the sport.

Last night's commentary had some kind of echo thru the whole thing? If this is the future of digital TV all I can say is thanks again US Congress.

Nope, they have been doing it since at least 2004. Sometimes it's very noticeable, other times it's not so bad. Depends on what they have on the loop.

Most or all of the helicopter noise when the feed is from the chopper (TdF) is faked too.
