Mad Potter 2 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 If last nights coverage had been rubbish (and it definitely wasn't) it wouldn't have mattered as the racing was exceptional. Hopefully the organisers will learn from it and prepare the other tracks like that. Agree one of the best prepared racetracks for years with plenty of different racing lines. Take note Tony Olsson Prepare a good track (not a motorway) and you will get good racing & passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Finally it seems the organisers asked the local trackstaff to sort the track. After all they should know best shouldn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMER57 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 SCB I did not say it was better coverage I said I enjoyed the coverage as it was shown live and I would not have a problem with watching E/L on Eurosport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Love the Eurosport coverage the racing is so much better than it was on sky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 SCB I did not say it was better coverage I said I enjoyed the coverage as it was shown live and I would not have a problem with watching E/L on Eurosport But you can't watch the EL on Eurosport. BSI arrange for the GPs to be filmed, they then sell that recording on to Eurosport (previously Sky). Sky film the EL and show it on Sky. If Sky don't film the EL then there is no EL action for Eurosport to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I know but the point I was making if it was filmed by Eurosport I would not have a prop watching.As its looking like no Speedway on Sky next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Much prefer the non studio GP coverage Edited April 21, 2013 by Shadders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusky Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Finally it seems the organisers asked the local trackstaff to sort the track. After all they should know best shouldn't they? Not the case as I understand it... The local trackstaff wanted a slick racetrack. Tony Olsson argued for a grippy track, and got one.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P T Preece Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Great coverage and no annoying Ermolenko and his computer, only one problem they missed the semi draws and final one as well, always like this as the riders always seem troubled. More please, no studio seems better, this was one of the best GPs for years, down to the track and not the filming no matter who filmed it, just glad they did..

T.N.T. Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Eurosport are showing the same feed that Sky used to show. They're not out there filming it themselves! Think most comments so far are concerning the commentary side of the show, not the filming and that seem to be much better without regular trips back to the studio and now keep watching what is being filmed with commentary over. The one liners as riders introduce them selves before each race are the only things I would stop and must admit came up with a few myself or added to theirs. ...... Kasprzak yet to score ....

Dave_minall Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) I do like Eurosport doing the GPs. To the point and no BS. The only thing I have to complain about is the chap who does a brief rundown of the show so far just after the ADVERT breaks. Here is a race... Iversen is in the lead... licks the fence... on the way...through STOP PAUSING SO MUCH MAN Edited April 22, 2013 by Dave_Minall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes SKY cut to the studio every 4 heats but you dont seem to like what the feed provides anyway. I think we are all glad to have somewhere to watch the GPs but this praising of Eurosport coverage is just ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backless Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 The difference is that whereas Sky used to revert to the studio at every opportunity to bring the viewers an update on Ermolenko's progress - or otherwise- in trying to get a grasp on basic English. Maybe not through choice in the short term, Eurosport show much more of the world feed, including the parade & copious replays. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backless, we don't tend to agree at the best of times, but you are right. The Eurosport coverage is to the point and we get to see what we want to see, racing. None of this back and forth to a studio where we get more of the same opinions from Keith 'This isn't road racing' Huwen and Sam Ermolenko and friends. The Eurosport coverage (even though it's essentially just a feed + commentators) is no frills, just racing and the occasional interview (which is always, beautifully given by Steve Brandon) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in a nutshell exactly the same, it's just not watered down with fancy intros/studios/etc. Much more to the point. I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that why the govt has been up the creek for years. That is an interesting change that has just happened. !!!
