From the race thread

Very frustrating, but I guess its the price we pay for having the whole race live on TV, and not just an internet feed.

After watching the first 45 minutes I got so annoyed by the adverts that I started to note them down. From 15:45 to 19:00 UK time there were 14 ad breaks! According to
Ofcom's rules, you are only allowed 9 breaks for those 190+ mins - 6 for 125 min, plus 3 more for each of the extra 20 mins. I'm not one to complain to Ofcom, but...
