Bavarian Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Not sure if the Eurosport commentators were actually at trackside or sitting back home in a studio, but I saw Kelvin Tatum strolling around in the pits at Landshut and watching the racing. Very good racing last night, the first big speedway meeting here in Germany for a long time. One Sport did a great job to organise this. Not much difference in the quality compared to the events organised by BSI/IMG. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Out of the 2 One Sport events I think they should push the FIM to sanction the Pairs as an official World Championship event. It's my most favourite part of Speedway ever watching rider's team ride. It's beautiful poetry and the reason to love Speedway. As a note, with how sh!yte Nicki Pedersen was I'd have been a bit p!$$ed if I was Hans Andersen not to get a ride 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Andersen was quite relaxed just watching the action from the pits. He seemed to take it easy and did not seem to really expect getting a call-up to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Best of the recent Pairs meetings by far!!!! The only thing I want to know and say about the commentary is who is Shamek Pawlicki's older brother masquerading as for Wolves???

Hodgy Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Had the feeling Norbert the commentator was slightly peeved with Egon Müllers commentary and kept cutting him short and going off in another direction.Kept saying it was a sell out 12,000 crowd,which would be excellent if true.Otherwise congrats to all for a great nights entertainment Thought I heard useless commentators mention attendance of 5,000. Then again wouldn't be the first time they got it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gee jay Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Andersen was quite relaxed just watching the action from the pits. He seemed to take it easy and did not seem to really expect getting a call-up to ride. i'm not surprised he wasn't expecting a call up with niels riding so well wasn't that one of nicki's pit crew acting as manager before the gate picks?

oldtimer Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 What drugs is Jack on? All he has to do is remember four riders and their helmet colours for one minute, and he can't even remember them after first bend, made even Sam "straightaway" Ermolenko sound intelligent. He really was appalling, couldn't tell one rider from another and can't even count to 4. I assume the guy gets paid for this rubbish, get shot of him quick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGT Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Really enjoyed this meeting, some cracking racing in at times difficult conditions. As someone who's watched Eurosport's excellent motorcycle racing coverage for many years, I'm very pleased that they've taken speedway on board too. I love Jack Burnicle's commentary to bits, I know he cocks up but he's such a nice bloke that I'd forgive him any gaff he'd wish to make. I can see why he gets on some people's ** though!! Anyway, beggars can't be choosers,, just keep enjoying the racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wonder if there is some bias within the German team.We have had 5 riders used in two meetings,but strangely the actual German Champ hasn't been picked!!!!

Phil The Ace Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 How is Doyle?? Havent seen any news .. Looked really bad. There was no broken bones but needed stitches in a gash on his leg. He also got concussion and will miss a week of speedway Got off fairly likely. Lucky lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 A good meeting that got better as it went on. Hope Jason is not too bad after that awful accident. The commentary was complete comedy and after a while became bearable, just. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really was appalling, couldn't tell one rider from another and can't even count to 4. I assume the guy gets paid for this rubbish, get shot of him quick. He's actualy pretty good at BSB and WSBK (IMO anyway), but is completely useless at speedway. Speeway has to be one of the most straightforward jobs for a motorsport commentator - 4 bikes all wearing different colours and 4 laps - quite why he struggles is beyond me. Calling races after 3 laps. Getting confused between riders - especially "Nicky Peeeedersen". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgy Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Doyle has tweeted pics of his shark attack injuries, couple of deep wounds all now mended. Could have been so much worse. Entertaining meeting apart from the oh so embarrassing commentary, dumb and dumber have got to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddas69 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I don't know, I'm watching it on Eurosport player with Swedish commentary. How was the Swedish commentators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) How was the Swedish commentators? As I said: He, Peter Dahlbom, is ok, not as good as the team at Cmore who does the Elitserien broadcasts, but definitely still ok. Some errors when it comes to notice rider changes, like when Bogdanovs replaced Poudzuks but other then that he is ok. Especially since he does not have a speedway background (he is a road racing commentator) and have done less then 10 meetings in total.
