Whats wrong with the drone? An innovative idea & they make it work. The race cam is good aswell, especially after last night with riders being very close at times, though I agree, should be for replays only.  Its ideas like race cam & drones that is going to get new people interested. Well done Eurosport...its probably the only thing I have liked about their coverage this year. Nigel & Kelvin's bickering is embarrassing at times.

Has eurosport taken over the GP as well ?

Yes and no- Discovery sports events are the new promoters and Eurosport are in the same group. Discovery have said that Discovery plus will be the main viewing platform for the GP`s(subscription channel)they have also mentioned coverage on Eurosport but i am yet to be convinced that LIVE will be on Eurosport.

I'm taking up the Discovery deal with Sky at the end of the month as don't trust Eurosport showing GP's live. Be on the bloody eurosport player no doubt

Reading the interview with Discovery's CEO in this weeks Speedway Star (very informative it was too), they have signed up some GP's "free to air live"...

In the markets aiming to be developed it was said, some of which have had GP"s for a long time but never shown without subscription, therefore restricting the sports growth in those nations was the thought process..

However, Cardiff for example was one that hadn't been signed up to that agreement, although it was mentioned that this didnt mean it couldn't still happen..

The plans, given the enormous size of their operations globally, and the reach they have, are really exciting for the sport globally if they come to fruition.. 

One sobering thought was that this man lived in the UK for four years, leading a motorsports TV company, yet admitted he had never heard of Speedway till he went to a GP in Poland on a fact finding mission. Due to it being considered as something that Discovery should be looking at to add to its stable..

Another thing noticed about Eurosport they only have microphones on the home straight, so for example at Belle Vue the back straight is the noisy side where all the atmosphere is but you don’t hear any of it.

Will be same at Peterborough tonight.

I think the majority of noise at Peterborough will be from the grandstand though as it holds 2,000 doesn't it, so the microphones will be in the right place tonight.

Not when Peterborough are getting beat, it will be very quiet on that side :)
