Oxford v Cambridge boat race down the Ouse just doesn't have the same ring to it as the usual Thames version! The course looks to be dead straight and narrow, it'll be like rowing down a canal. BBC are doing their best but it just looks duff.
The Amazon would be (a) more photogenic and (b) more dramatic if one of the boats sank - all those crocks waiting to pounce. Alternatively, the 'Umber with the finishing line at 'Essle Beach.
Like it but they've gone to the Ouse to avoid Covid, don't think relocating to Brazil would ever have been on the agenda!
