I was really disappointed with NBC Sports network's coverage. So many ads! And their on-screen ad banners that obstruct the entire bottom half of the screen! Terrible! They also did not have the name of the castle or town, which Versus always had. No speed of racers, either. The had way too many bits of storyline instead of focusing on the race. Seriously terrible compared to Versus and Eurosport. Next year I'll stick with Eurosport however I can get it. Obviously, NBC Sports Network doesn't know much about covering cycling races. Even Paul and Phil were having to mention ad bits at every other sentence.
