The format is good, 2x 7 teams gives underdogs a chance as we saw tonight. Impressed with Luke Becker and Marko Levishyn, and Timo Salonen too. No adverts on Discovery +, which means they not relying on adverts to pay for coverage, they after subscriptions. The choice is adverts or not, some grumble about adverts, but we cant have it free of adverts and not pay some other way. Timo Salonen was rally world champion, but close enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends how you read this that you wrote " It is a shame not being able to view the whole competition without subscribing but you kind of understand why they have to restrict some content to generate subscriptions." In other words we are all paying to watch Eurosport so why isn`t it on there ?? because they want 2 helpings of cake- and you seem to be agreeing with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw42 Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 @racers and royals cheers for the VK link, glad I didn't go through the mither of subscribing now, the comms were English too, not a bad meeting at all considering most of us feared the worst and expected different. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words we are all paying to watch Eurosport so why isn`t it on there ?? because they want 2 helpings of cake- and you seem to be agreeing with them That's a very strange interpretation of that sentence to get to Eurosport is free? Maybe I should have pointed out that I was referring to Discovery Sport but I think that was clear in the context of the post. Whether I agree or not is irrelevant, I just understand the business model. They want to attract more customers to their service via exclusive content. They won't achieve that by making their content available via other platforms that their potential subscribers already have access to. If you don't want to give them two slices of the cake then just don't subscribe. Nobody is forcing anyone to, you are free to do as you wish in that respect. As it happens it looks like I missed out based on the result but that was my choice to watch the cricket, which I'm also enjoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 I thought it may come down to who scored the most between Becker, Lahti & Huckenbeck for the final qualifying spot. Didn't realize Lahti had such adequate backup in Timi Salonen - should I have heard of him? Poland not dominating the semi should give GB, Denmark & Aussies hope they can win. Norway rather than Slovakia? No Zagar for Slovenia? GB should win semi 2 at a canter! Sweden surely have a third rider more capable than Victor Palovaara? Fancy the French to edge out the Czech's for the third qualifying spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just wasn't at his best last night, but he's had plenty of success on tracks outside of Poland. You might have a point with the other Poles, though.

Oh yes, I agree, Zmarzlik is special, very special... but I didn't really say that. Poland as a Speedway team, never really shown anything outside of Poland... look at the record books Edited July 28, 2022 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the rest of the Polish team letting their nation down outside of their home country. I wasn't disagreeing with you, just pointing out he can almost win meetings on his own (or at least put them in a position to do so - take 2019 Speedway of Nations for example). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
