Noodles Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, RS50 said: Forgive my technical ignorance, but would this mean you can only watch it live?, and be unable to fast forward between races? I currently use Eurosport app and BT Sport app - both have an 'on demand' option to watch live matches again, after the event. And yes you can fast forward.

I get bored watching live speedway on TV, long breaks for adverts, plus riders taking an age to get settled into their start positions for races! Watching it after means you can fast forward lots of wasted time! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aDarkDesign Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 The on board cam shows a terrific view of the handlebars! It looks like its fixed to his chin. Pretty much sums up Eurosport I'm afraid, half hearted. Also sums up UK speedway too, from Sky Sports to BT to Eurosport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 If Eurosport wasn't part of my Sky package, I would have binned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, we (my father and I) always watch live just like we do a footy match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I badly miss the old system which led up to the world final where any one of the field could be world champion on the night. They were great occasion’s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbw Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Why haven't Eurosport made the coverage any better. They should do what Premier Sports/Freesports do and interact with the fans during meetings by reading out questions & messages from social media. Instead we get the same garbled nonsense from Tatum & Pearson! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Grumbler Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Statler & Waldorf have got that gig in their pocket for the foreseeable. Not a patch on Millard or Lanning though. And I thought Sam might be more insightful than he has been to date. Peter Adams would be the man for that job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know a better gate gives you a massive advantage, so it is vitally important to score as many as you can. Also if you go out in the semi it gains you the point against the other rider going out in the other semi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
