PRODUCTION HIGHLIGHTS

NBC Sports will integrate several features into its coverage of this year’s Tour de France:

    • ‘Team Radio’ Audio: For the first time, NBC Sports will present select ‘Team Radio’ audio during the broadcast, playing clips of the communication between team directors and riders throughout the race
    • NBC Sports will utilize a cutting edge “Virtual” graphics Telestrator, which debuted throughout the 2019 Tour de France and produces augmented reality cyclist graphics for the commentators to move and analyze
    • The enhanced augmented reality features will include 3-D animated maps that track where the riders are in real time on the route and profile the stage terrain
    • Vande Velde will have a camera focused on him as he reports to offer real-time updates on race situations, while traveling aboard a motorcycle on the course
    • Real-time data of course gradients and the riders’ speeds


NBC Sports’ coverage will include real-time speeds of both the leaders and the peloton, and additional maps that show more detailed versions of the finishes and each mountain climb.

Coverage will also utilize several production enhancements and updated graphic elements, including a pointer feature to easily identify and focus on one rider in the peloton, and exclusive profiles on teams and riders

THAT IS NOT A SELLING POINT!!!
nothing against CVV ...it is annoying and worthless no matter who the reporter is.
Why do producers think anybody needs to see that?

Is the real time data actually real time? Like when the wattages are displayed and it says 400W when a rider is freewheeling, and 50W when they’re attacking on a climb?

Will the team radio be just basic stuff or actually anything insightful?

Probably be on about the same level as showing the moto's speedometer as it is catching up to the peleton while the announcers are telling us that the riders who are coasting are going 100k / hr.
