Odds On Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Thought I had seen it all in terms of poor professionalism from TV "presenters"....but last night was probably the lowest of the lowest. It is evidently clear that the person doing interviews in the pits is so far out of their depth it is brutal to watch...when a team manger tells you to not interview a rider yet you ignore his advice, you are left with an absolute cringeworthy situation live on air. The same "presenter" has no real rapport with the riders and thus makes poor viewing, the incident with the obvious bad injury to Ben Cook is a example, instead of waffling and digging a bigger hole why not try and use some common sense and leave it to the likes of Scott/Kelvin/Ollie who have been in that position and know what to say and what not to say. Last Monday night when Pickering was revving the guts out of his bike, why would you try and have an interview with him? Thought it was poor last night and in general over the season it has become more and more of the same, how many times have we seen pit interviews that have been interesting and entertaining?...it needs someone from the TV side to have that rapport with the riders, a person the riders respect, something Scott Nicholls does and has with the vast majority of them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesR Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Totally agree with you, thinking the same thing. She stands in the pits, with that stupid grin on her face, knowing not a lot about the sport she is involved in. The sooner she is replaced the better. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"And now we to go over to" (advert starts)... They even managed to caption Kelvin's name wrong at the start last night! Tatum became Tatam Perhaps he was miffed and that's why so many rider names were incorrect in commentary - Jason Lyons even made an appearance somehow at one point! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
