While Sayfutdinov looked slow in the final, don't forget he was passed by 3 world class riders! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree,but usually Emil is very fast when in front not often passed,seemed to be riding a tighter line for some reason.History now though.Artum is not renowned for passing but you could see he had much more speed.IMO Edited July 19, 2021 by Fromafar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No denying it’s much weaker over here but you have to factor in his can’t be arsed and stuff the fans attitude that has seen him bombed out of every team he’s rode for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking on Friday they didn’t show any interviews. Just shows that when they go to to the studio they miss all the interviews! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A grand Prix that I could watch, and enjoy, with the sound on, BT please stick with these two commentators , Kelvin is very knowledgable (as an ex rider) and is NOT trying to tell us how much he knows all the time! Bravo p.s. I watch MOTOGP with the option to have the bike sound on and the commentary off! They don’t work for BT, they work for BSI and do the commentary on the world feed so any English speaking countries round the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 It really a fan of Marketa stadium and Friday evening/Sunday afternoon hasn’t changed anything. It because it’s a GP and the riders will give it everything that saves the event being a complete non event. Some of the racing was sensational, most of it pretty much standard, bordering boring. It seems no one has a super fast engine. Madsen , Freddie and Emil usually fly when in the lead. Just pretty standard over the two meetings. Ok, Zmarzlik pulled out a big lead in one race, so did Laguta and Janowski. Perhaps with all the good tuners about the standard of tuning is equalising, so negating it. Still not too sure about this points system. Already seems a big lead between 1st and 2nd and that’s just after two meetings. It is what it is, suppose will get used to it.

eric i Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 I think the racing over the last 3 or 4 years is better than it used to be at Prague, I don't know if that is down to the current crop of riders or the track prep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All matches were live streamed into the homes of thousands of ice hockey fans worldwide. Clubs reported one of fans’ biggest areas of praise or concern regarding live streaming was the quality of commentary provided. Nigel understands why this was the case. “You can’t go over the top when a goal goes in or a try is scored,” he said. “Don’t scream your head off so your voice cannot handle it. Play to your strengths, do what you think your voice can manage and don’t stretch your voice so it sounds painful.” However given the criticism that Nigel very frequently gets from a very significant number, I'm not too sure he takes notice himself. It was noticeable on Sunday that the commentary in general was much calmer, more informative and less "pally" which all things being equal, made it a far more pleasurable listening (and by default, viewing) pleasure. I for one would like to see Sunday's commentary team retained as I felt that they greatly enhanced the viewing experience. Chances of that are very slim though unfortunatley. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
