aye, the visuals were stunning but that was it

I watched a highlights video on YouTube. Visuals are good but agree with the above, it needs more

Looked interesting, watched the coverage on ITV on Sunday however and it wasn't that interesting, reminded me of the Dakar rally, put on how do you expect people to follow when we haven't seen the semi-finals?
