Season1steve Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Ok after 20yrs I thought I better register and post and clear this Eurosport/discovery+ thing up . The Grand prixs WILL be shown live on Eurosport 2 and on discovery+ the only difference is Eurosport will show commercials after every 4 heats etc while discovery+ won't have any commercials and will have cameras in the pits . Hope this clears everything up 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come January it will be a tough decision, do I stay with BT or do I move and loose MotoGP. I can’t recall when that contract is up. You can get a month Discovery+ free trial, time it right and you will get the first 2 gp’s free, they are only 2 weeks apart. I was in the same boat but didn't renew BT Sport. I downloaded a free VPN then logged on to the official Moto GP live stream on their web site to watch the race. You can do this as long as the web site thinks you are in a country that isn't showing the Moto GP races live. Naughty I know, but times are hard for this old pensioner and I can't afford BT sports prices for just the odd live stream! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed29 Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 I Hope we get more action for FIM Speedway Grand Prix with Social Media, Pit Lane and interview with the riders. More Better and More Bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted April 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Obviously at this truly awful time following Saturday`s shock news this question is rightly not uppermost in peoples minds, although Discovery are going to have to make a decision who replaces Nigel as lead commentator. i can see a few possibilities. 1 Give the job to Dave Rowe, who they know from SEC commentary and knows Speedway inside out and like Nigel works for the BSPA press office and Talksport. 2 Move Kelvin over to the commentary position and pair him with with Chris Louis- something which i thought was a success when done before. 3 Bring in someone else such as BT football commentator Darren Fletcher who is well known for his work at Peterborough Speedway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need someone we know who do brilliant commentator in Speedway, also someone needs learn about speedway history as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Dave Rowe would be the obvious choice, they should make more use out of Chris Louis and Jason Crump, as they gave good insight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they did a meeting last season it was very obvious they had timing issues, with Kelvin having to interrupt Louis a few times to do the essentials. But that is learned with experience, and I really liked them together so it would be my preference if they were both interested. It would be nice to see what Dave Goddard would be like with a proper production. I think he has done good job in very difficult circumstances (commentating off-screen, on his own, and a bad sound mix) on Premier Sports. He knows the sport's history too, but would probably not be interested in the the job because of his other motorsport interests. As someone who liked "shouty" Nige and Kelv I always found the Euros more difficult to watch, as that energy does not come across for me with Dave Rowe. Having to watch dodgy Polish streams last year, I did not feel I missed anything extra. But I would think it will be between Kelvin as the main commentator or Rowe. It will probably depend on whether Kelvin is interested, and if Discovery want to let him and Louis learn their timing on air as there is not much time left to practice now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cheese Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Doesn't look like the GP next weekend is being shown on Eurosport 2 as suggested. They have PGA golf from Mexico starting at 7.30pm with replays of Motocross and Formula E before that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bavarian Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Who is surprised? We all know EUROSPORT and how "reliable" they have been with their Speedway coverage in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusky Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 However, if you look on Discovery+ listings it does show it being on Eurosport 2, however it doesn't say which particular Eurosport 2 channel, it doesn't actually specify the British Eurosport 2. I guess it will be a surprise on the day.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by today's schedule, the Eurosport website says that Eurosport 2 is showing Golf from 9.30pm whereas Eurosport UK is showing replays of Superbikes and Cycling. The golf is on Sky in the UK so I assume only they have the rights which would leave Eurosport 2 free to show the GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PragueMagpie Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 For those of us in a country where there’s no television broadcaster, does anyone know if it will still be available to watch on YouTube ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
