racers and royals 8,723 Posted July 15, 2017 I kept away from checking any scores because I wanted to watch it " delayed live" on Eurosport at 8.45pm- 2 hrs 30 mins programme -easy to get 22 races in. NO EUROSPORT CUT HEAT 5- what a tosser the programme editor must be I know from the track that heat 5 took 3 goes at finishing but surely we could have had the last attempt at the very least. one thing I do like- nothing to do with Eurosport- are the interviews. Not only is Marcelina gorgeous but her English speaking interviews are brilliant !!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nw42 2,048 Posted July 15, 2017 I'd say she's well ahead of Sam with English, she's lovely, really nice manner of interviewing riders. As for ht 5, didn't realise we'd missed it as I wasn't concentrating too hard but did wonder when the mention of previous exclusions/red light was made. Shame for Kai, rode really well and kept the locals interested. Decent meeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not only is Marcelina gorgeous but her English speaking interviews are brilliant !!!! Well we learnt from commentary that it took 3 attempts, Milik was 3rd and someone, in red, went over the white line. But rather than show us the race they preferred interviews and even shots of the crowd. What an odd choice to cut out a heat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
False dawn 2,298 Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) NO EUROSPORT CUT HEAT 5 Thanks for that. I thought I'd gone mad. I was trying to catch the end of the tennis and when I switched back the riders are announced and they don't match my programme. Then I realised they were on heat 6. It took me several heats and reading the standings to work out the result of that race and I finally worked out that Mikkel Bech was excluded for crossing the white line. It was a bit strange omission from the transmission. At the next adverts, me and the missus were placing bets on which race they would show next.

iris123 20,972 Posted July 16, 2017 Another great race there from Kai,but do they have to stop the race when someone goes inside the line?????Seems new to me.Thought they just exclude someone and keep the race going See i am not the only one questioning the ref here.A couple on the German forum have asked the same question....always seem to recall the start marshall at Wimbledon had an exclusion flag and held that out with the riders helmet colour together to show someone had been excluded as the race carried on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone falls on lap 3 and positions are fixed - freeze the heat. Unsatisfactory start - going back to the pits = excluded (unless due to tapes or lights malfunction). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed.I have asked an FIM official about this and wait an answer.But i am pretty sure i have seen a couple of ice racers excluded for crossing the inside line,but the race hasn't been stopped and restarted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
