eric i Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Can't eurosport do 2 televised meetings at once like they did on sky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 that would need 2 cameras. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw42 Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Assuming Eurosport will have their roving reporter Dave Rowe at Owlerton on Monday, so maybe it wouldn't be too big a stretch to show the races alternately even without the use of multiple cameras, which tbh have been used quite badly for most matches this season anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comment but maybe they could show just the actual minute's race rather than all the guff, wouldn't have to be live either, they could just squeeze in the Owlerton races as and when the opportunity arose, track grades etc. Edited September 30, 2021 by nw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing eurosport there would be riders racing for the finishing line four abreast and they would cut to the other meeting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only started raining heavily a few hours ago and the forecast said it was due to stop at 5, but it didn't, so they left it as long as they could, suppose it being on TV would have been part of the problem as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
