Kudos for correctly branded motorcycles on the headline picture.

Some breakup throughout the marathon coverage when onboard the bikes. I'm not sure if it's significantly more than normal, certainly wouldn't raise too many eyebrows unless you were looking for it. No coverage inside the tunnels as expected.
Like the Boat Race coverage a few weeks back, it is noteworthy the lack of onscreen clutter throughout the race. Usually, there is only the clock and the semi-transparrent hashtag on the screen (the hashtag looks way outside of the safe area if the clock is anything to go by). Personally, it would be helpful to have a bit more info like showing which group is on screen and the gaps between them (I haven't been able to get commentary for most of it which would have covered that). But I'm not sure live timing is a thing for the broadcast, there's no immediate splits for example. That maybe rationalised due to the mass participation (I think there is timing for everyone on the app).
