World Under 21 Championship 2017 Live On Tv

[BobC]

 

My point is if a track is dangerous it's dangerous. It doesn't matter what kind of meeting it is. If a world title meeting is rained off it will be rerun at some point exactly the same as a league meeting.

 

I'd rather not see any meetings raced in conditions like that.

I agree with you 100%

 

This meeting only went ahead because of TV and it was a World Final.

 

Coverage was good, no problems with Youtube at all. Just Sam and his awful commentary.

 

I see they are saying shoulder problems for Drabik, which if true isnt good, but could have been a whole lot worse.

 

The Final in Pardubice is now set up nicely for a grandstand finish.

And I agree. There are many world championship meeting taken place over the years that shouldn't have. But seemed to me your dig was aimed at the riders, not the people who pushed the meeting to take place. Apologies if that was not the case.

It was the first time I had seen such a match live via You Tube. Excellent picture with no break up problems. So how is it funded? But of course it should not have been run in such conditions. The first 8 heats were Gate and Go because nothing else was possible. I understand that re-staging had many problems about it ( or was impossible ) but I have never seen a league match run in such conditions, so the track problem at the infamous KL V Poole "walkout" match were, as of nothing!

Congratulations to Robert Lambert the most exciting rider on show and who may still get on the rostrum for a medal.

Both really. No one wins in those situations. The racing last night , final apart, was awful.

 

I understand why the TV, organisers etc want to go ahead, not that I agree with them. It's the riders that wind me up tho. Had those conditions been at Poole say on Monday, do you honestly think Kurtz and Holder would ride? Of course they wouldn't, but the dangers are the same. Not really singling those two out, but they are involved in both meetings.

A great final all to play for still cant believe Lambert got second in the final Smektala decent can really gate well and showed in the final he can mix it.

Did you not know he can 'mix it'?

In my opinion the racing got slowly better as the meeting went on.The final was the best race,no doubt,but a few other races were at the very least,interesting.Have seen worse meetings for sure

I will tell you exactly how it`s funded and I suggest a many people as possible email One sport to thank them for A providing official internet coverage B providing an English commentary as well biuro@onesport.eu

The U21 finals this year are broadcast by Eleven- the polish TV company and the internet coverage uses their pictures. As Dave Rowe and Sam Ermolenko cover the SEC and best pairs(both Eurosport) for One sport they were the logical choices for the internet coverage.

so One Sport didn`t need to do it but they have forked out on flights, hotel, wages etc to bring us internet coverage

Whilst I agree with your point,to be fair the riders weren't having major issues getting round the track held up well.The spectacle for the spectators was ruined though.

But as I've pointed out, it's normal that riders will put up with more risk for a world title. Just like the KC and PC examples I gave.

It's also why it annoys me when people complain about riders not racing in the wet anymore - why would fans want to watch meetings in such poor conditions.

So you are saying FIM pays for it as a part of the promotion deal?

Where did I say that ?? Onesport have got a contract from the FIM to run the World U21 championship. They are using their own money(from TV rights ?) to provide the internet coverage.

Just some latest info about the TV coverage tomorrow of the world U21 final 3rd and last round. It`s looking unlikely that Eleven are showing this live- it`s scheduled for Eleven sports at 22.30 pm local- however Onesport will not have taken the trouble flying Dave Rowe and Sam Ermolenko over if they are not doing what they did in rounds 1 and 2 and providing internet coverage via you tube with the duo commentating using the eleven output( Eleven not showing it live should not effect the internet coverage) all will get underway around 6pm UK time tomorrow.

[Dickie Head]

Looks like Christina Turnbull is the meeting referee.
