For TT I'd just rather check the results and be done with it. It is too repetitive for me to watch.
OTOH, I like long flat (boring) stages. I have to be in the right frame of mind for it, but it says lazy summer afternoon like nothing else. Watch a breakaway get out, doze off listening to Phil & Paul, wake up an hour or so later, check the distance, see if the breakaway is still out, notice the sunflowers or lavender fields, decide whether to wake up or not...
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
