That was my initial thought as well.
Exactly. The first Australian season stuck to mostly Asia as well. It becomes too repetitive when they stick to a region. They need a bit more variety in locations.

I’m still looking forward to it but you’re right, they need more variety. I think I still enjoy the European legs the best because of the history. If their aim was to keep things local then it’s a shame they didn’t go to New Zealand.
