Early days but I think Channel 4 is already making a better TV show around The Boat Race than the BBC in recent years and being more helpful explaining things to new viewers. Explaining seats/science/route inform, educate and entertain 👏.
I know I'm a working class oik but I do respect rowers after spending lots of time on an ergometer for my health.The amount of effort involved for so many muscle groups is insane.
