I was thoroughly disappointed with this collection. The dvd chopped and changed alot. Yes i know there was alot of important things to show but it ruined the whole fluidity of the dvd. This could have easily been fixed by creating a bigger version: 5 or 6 discs maybe. Another thing that irked me was that this whole collection just seemed as though they just packed each of the official ASO highlights of each stage one after the other. And it seems pretty obvious once you watch it as they have the theme music at the start and end of each stage highlights (so essentially they play the theme music back-to-back at the end of one stage and the start of the next) and at the start of each stages highlights they show a re-cap of the stage before...even though you have just watched a 15min version of its highlights just minutes before. To be 100% honest the collection just doesn't seem that well thought out. I have recently also brought the WCP version (google it if you don't know what WCP is) and it is a 7 disc version with of 12 hours of highlights. Whilst i am not a fan of Tim Grady the person i am a fan of his editing and cycling productions. If this was to be a good 3 disc version in my opinion they need to cut out some of the behind the scenes....start and finish town stuff and remove the recaps of the recaps (as explained above). It has the ability to be a really good set especially since it is about an Aussie TdF winner but in my opinion just fails in a few areas. Thanks
