Any videos of yesterdays team presentation? There was a highlights vid on ES but the only interviews they showed were of wiggins and evans, and they did not show Katusha Movistar Lampre and some others.
Considering your request is the only comment on this years presentation might tell you something.

I recorded the presentation and watched Wimbledon live. When I watched the recording I could not believe what a non event the presentation was. A procession of 9 cyclists riding their bikes on stage. Stood astride bikes to be named. One or 2 short interviews, left stage. Next team on. That was it. If the next 3 weeks are as boring, as I think they will be, all my recordings will be the same. Fast forward to end and delete. Sad after laster year

The only difference with last year is that last year was in a roman gladiator arena and hushovd came up from the ground.

The interviews can be revealing. I wanted to hear what Valverde and Menchov and the like had to say and i wanted to hear what the commentators had to say about them.
