NORT 2010 - Stage 3 - TV footage analysis

Below is provided an overview of the TV footage from NORT 2010 - Stage 3 - Chasing start. The mens race is considered.

Summary

This is one of the few chasing start races which has been covered by a full TV production. "Proof" that chasing start can work for TV: Good combination of TV splits with GPS tracking made it possible to tell a good story which works well - interchanging fluently between them, although there are still a bit too many uninteresting pictures due to limited amount of cameras. The "spreading diamond" gave a bit lengthy GPS-tracking with situation difficult to explain - a variant of the graphics from World Cup Liberec 2011 Long could maybe make it more understandable for the viewer.

Map with camera positions

TBD

Worked well

  • Combination of GPS and TV footage worked very well

Did not work well

  • Often nearly missed the leader at TV splits instead of waiting for him
  • Graphics came a bit late at TV splits

Very limited amount of pre-produced material.

Very limited course preview, showing optimal route choice. Not very pretty, and only for the women.
