Couldn't agree more, but yet another show of the promoter's laziness. They pick the shortest stage to cover so that they don't have to bring so much camera equipment and not so many people... which really doesn't make sense in my mind because they already have the people and the equipment there so it shouldn't be impossible to cover also a long stage. Sure, you have to cover many cars running at the same time but I really can't see the reason for all this laziness.
One would expect that you take a job at the promoter for the love of the sport, in which case trotting around in bushes and undergrowth to get to stages should not be new to you. It seems instead that they took it for the love of sitting around and scratching their asses.
