brandonbee48 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Heat 12 - 15 had some great fights/passes. Kenni in heat 12, Przedpelski's pass on Greg in heat 13, Laguta's fights with Pawlicki. Perhaps after last week we'd better refer to them as "on track racing duels." particularly when Greg is involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcCaffery Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Just caught up with the match having watched British Eurosports 1 hour programme shown last night at 11pm-WHAT A BUNCH OF TO$$ERS they really are In the 1hour programme they cut out heats 3,5,6 and 7 leaving 11 minutes of racing in an hour. just what is going on with Kasprzak - 1 point in Sweden last night riding at reserve in a home match !!! It's always been a chaotic channel, right back to the early days when it was Sky's original sports channel in the late 80s. It's clearly run on the cheap, certainly compared to Sky and BT, and even Setanta/Premier Sports. It has always relied on cheap live events, especially ones that can take all day, such as tennis, golf, cycling and motorcycling. As we saw on Saturday they'd rather show people talking about superbikes after the racing had finished rather than go to Torun. The Swedish coverage has been shameful. Okay, there were a couple of rain-offs to open the season but it's going to be July before we get to see a live Swedish match. Last night's programme was clearly a 'rush job'. David and Sam were referring to races and interviews that had been cut from the programme and clearly the editing paid little heed to creating a worthwhile programme. Why only an hour? All they had afterwards was some recorded rallying then their overnight news service? If they're going to take over a contract it would be useful if they actually used it! I watched some F1 Stock Cars on Premier the other night and was reminded of what a decent job they and Dave Goddard did. If only Eurosport hadn't taken it up. No doubt we'll be missing more matches later in the year, like the early play-offs last year. Speedway doesn't count for much and often unnecessarily makes enemies in the media but it does deserve better than Eurosport. There's the Jack Burnicle fiasco too.... Yes, they picked up the sport after Sky dropped it but we're seeing the same problems now that we had then. It could be handled so much better with a little respect shown to the sport, even if it so often bites the hand that feeds it.

jeffster Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Agree with you both (Racers and RMC) I tweeted Eurosport UK to ask what is going with their Swedish Coverage....They did reply, twice in fact.... Next week will be a live meeting, but the week after is an 8.30 PM transmission, and transmission times are likely to be different each week.... I wouldnt mind if they showed a FULL MATCH in the early hours of Wednesday, at least you could record it and watch it when you wanted. Much prefer that to these one hour "highlights" programmes....

Maybe they decided last night that we wouldn`t want to watch a crap Bjarne Pedersen-as we only saw him in heat 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, whole matches are what's needed, and maybe some repeats. Satellite TV lives on repeats, but not in this case. I wonder if they pay C-More by the hour?
