It was a bit odd, because they often have more graphics popping up throughout the race - such as stroke rates, heart rate monitors etc. - but nothing today excpt for a time checks at landmark points. I guess there might be some technical issue, they had trouble speaking to their pundit on the umpire's boat a few times, and some VTs played prematurely (those two things probably are unrelated). I don't think there was much audio from the boats at all either - not sure the often bad language that has been picked up in previous editions has saw them give up, or whether there was some issue.
