Wonder why Eurosport could have not shown the whole meeting from heat 1 slightly delayed instead of live. When they did start the programe they then showed 10 minutes of utter crud with flashing graphics of bikes and riders accompanyed by the usual useless music that does nothing but waste time. More scenes of the track grading than speedway itself. 20 minutes at the end of the programme too to fill up. On top of all that the one hour repeat later in the evening did actually show heat one and then shot off to heat 7, so why they could not have shown heat 2, 3 and 4 beggars belief. The one redeeming feature was that Eurosport showed the meeting at all but with a bit more planning and thought it could have been so much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know we should be grateful it's on at all, but the one thing that I find odd is they actually have enough time to show it all, but you get these extended ad breaks showing the city or a concoction of clips from other sports.

They probably just take the pics direct from Poland and simply add the Ermobabble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,133 Posted August 19, 2018 Robert did a really good job last, really is making fast progress. The meeting was pretty "ordainary", seen better gps from Latvia, but it was certainly watchable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He really is a dire commentator, nice bloke but should stay quiet, even subtitles can't figure out what he's saying ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He must be in contention for a wild card for next years GPs It's probably a year too soon for Lambert but he's putting his case forward. Leon Madsen must have a great chance if it goes on track performances. Every chance of winning this title now and banging in big scores every week for Czestachowa. However, NKI is already in the GP next season and should Pedersen get in the top 8 then unlikely they'll put another Dane in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

racers and royals 8,697 Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) If Eurosport are missing the first few races on Saturday- i am going to be well pi$$ed off Eurosport 2 are scheduled to come on air at 7.30pm( British superbike qualifying from 7-7.30pm) Meeting starts 7pm UK time with 1st race scheduled for 7.05pm- Polish Eurosport are on air at 7pm UK time- also being shown on TVP who are showing from 8.30pm UK time for 90 mins( so no idea what they are doing- they have live Football before which might explain it) If we miss 25 odd minutes of racing again- it`s a joke from Eurosport. The speedway is on for 3 hours - so if they miss 25 mins racing they will be left with loads of time at the end !!!
