I watched all the footage of every stage that they aired and yes, they need improvement. But as many of you said, it will get better in time. One thing that can be controlled is the time and difficulty of the stages. Shorten them up a bit and maybe make it so the the climbs are not so tough so they can keep the speed up a little, it was agonizing slow on some of the climbs. Make them fast and it will bring more attention and more viewers. Also, the coverage and the announcers were not very good, at all. This all could have been done so much better, but it really looked like they just "threw" it together for the sake of letting the women race. I think they deserved much more than what they were given. Having said that, I still enjoyed all of it, it's still bike racing and those are some tough girls.
