Since they are taking the host broadcaster's video feed and then doing voice-overs by Don and Geoff back in Canada at a later date, the CBC is limited in what they can show of Canadians in the race, ie. unless they are up with the leaders, then you've just go to keep your eyes open when they do a shot of the field flying by. It would help if Canada went back to more distinctive uniforms instead of the rather generic indistinguishable ones from last year.
