Speaking of the TV coverage, obviously the ITV4 vuelta coverage is at the shoestring end of the spectrum compared with their TdF efforts, but in many ways I prefer it. No filler stuff with Boardman riding the last km, no answering inane questions, just race coverage. The only downside for me is the race commentry itself - nothing wrong with the bloke himself, but it suffers with him being on his own, Sean & Dave on Eurosport or Phil & Paul on ITV come across much better simply because there's two of them.
