Our presenters are known for that. You know, when they pass a castle or a monument, they always tell a little history about it. They are always assisted by a former racer, which is very interesting. Especially when it's Tom Steels (he won 9 stages I believe in the tdf), he's a sprinter and the way he explains how a sprint works is really cool.
