mikebv Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 fantastic bit of coverage there showing the lengths tai and hans went to to get to the meeting, a video diary showing changing airports via bike couriers, getting a bit of shut eye where they could on the flights, tremendous example of what international speedway riders do to earn their crust.... maybe freddie has got one showing his cruise ship to the stadium?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Cheers. I thought he was injured as well and was replaced by Oleg, The commentary team on Eurosport are imbiciles I spent 8 heats in Russian and have more idea whats going on The Muppet that is not Scott is pronouncing the name of the place wrong and does not know that reserves are alternated and not put in because they look good or did well in the last heat. :rofl: I caught up when i got home by using spotowefakty it gives a report on every heat telling you what happened etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw42 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Woffinden was brilliant there to dive under Pedersen, did a Nicki on Nicki. Seemed to lose something off the back of his bike on bend 3/4, good ride Tai. Edited August 10, 2013 by nw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Bit like the speedway updates board then I suppose. But without the aggro and bias as it's not written by fans. Although i'm sure i detect a little Polish favouritism at times lol. And yeah duhhhh i forgot about the updates board i think it's because i was already on the Sportowefakty site looking at the news.

raymondbudd Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Fantastic coverage by Eurosport. I don't care if the commentary is less than perfect, it's good enough for me. Frankly it's brilliant that they cover the series, providing a superb HD picture too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) The girls are a consolation Awww that reminds me i wanna Monster girls calendar in 2014. Great stadium, shame about the track Too be honest i did see a few pre-meeting reports that there were likely problems with the 'shape' of the track amongst other niggles.

This season could have been so so different for those of us who watch the coverage. Long may it continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severnsider Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Woffinden was brilliant there to dive under Pedersen, did a Nicki on Nicki. Seemed to lose something off the back of his bike on bend 3/4, good ride Tai. They had put one of the cameras on the back of his bike and this came flying off on the second lap. Assume it came lose after the tight first bend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Good one Tai it's nice to see riders concerned with the amount of passing available for the fans. Hmmm i see Nicki not got that bloke employed for his fan he's got a (hot) woman instead. I wonder if he running scared of falling foul of the new anti-gay laws in Russia this week where it's illegal to show expression or something lol. Awww i only joking Nicki and the bloke who usually holds his cooling fan. Edited August 10, 2013 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinuteWarning Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Excellent coverage by Eurosport It shows that intelligent commentary - without childish screaming - works very well for our sport. Scott does an excellent job, and so probably would Kelvin, if you could separate him from NP. I'm beginning to like Steve Day (hope I got the name right) too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly it's brilliant that they cover the series, providing a superb HD picture too. I do think it's extremely rude to go somewhere as a commentator and mispronounce the name as it is insulting to the people who live there. The moron who isn't a speedway rider thought Copenhagen was Moldow and now Tolyatti is ToGliatti. It's like those morons who go to MaLLorca instead of MaYorca. Just nit picking perhaps but I don't really rate the guy above Sooty never mind someone like Pearson Edited August 10, 2013 by pandorum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Can hear that the crowd is making quite some noise just not the greatest audio mix on the tv. A better mix would enhance the atmosphere somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
