Thought they could have shown it in delayed from the start with an edited version but showing all the races. There is only a 1 hour repeat of this next Friday at 9 am. Damn the tennis. The highlight for me was to see the win by Robert Lambert. I thought it was just me setting the sky box wrong, so that happened to everyone else as well. Who the monkeys is interested in tennis finals anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted July 16, 2018 It wasn't even the tennis Final - on-court action which caused us to miss the first 8 heats it was the post-match, fairly pointless analysis and congratulations. Obviously, the producer is a tennis fan or the advertisers had been guaranteed X minutes of coverage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,853 Posted July 16, 2018 Wimbledon tennis works out at around 40,000 people a day for a fortnight.I’d guess the attendances most days are around 50,000 ,but for the finals they only let in a far smaller amount, which drops the average a bit.Whereas speedway is a sport on its knees!!!! Add the fact that it tends to get better sponsors yet people still try to slag off that and other sports like football!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at the riders 9-11 in the gps- Doyle,holder,Zagar. Lambert not yet in thst category imo - he's a world's top 30 rider for sure, but arguably not top 15. Of course being a brit will help, wheras Drabik has almost no chance of a wild card. But hope Lambert can do well in the challenge, and either qualify or do enough for a wild card.

racers and royals 8,697 Posted August 12, 2018 Just been checking out Saturday`s Eurosport 2 coverage- and i think we might have the same problem of live coverage as the previous round. Meeting is scheduled to start at 7pm local time, which is 6pm in Poland and 5pm here. Polish Eurosport are going on air at 6.30pm local- so i can see a long parade and late start so the 1st race will just be after 7.30pm in Daugavpils and 6.30pm in Poland. In the UK however Eurosport 2 is not on air until 6pm so we will miss around 4 heats i believe.- British superbike qualifying on before- maybe they will cut that short.

Sort of been confirmed to me that 1st race will happen shortly after 5.30pm UK time- so if Eurosport UK don`t come on air until 6pm UK time, several heats will be missed.Therefore here is a Eurosport Poland link for the early heats and others will follow before Saturday evening. http://internetowa.ws/channel/eurosport/ http://tele-wizja.ru/eurosport-1/# Edited August 17, 2018 by racers and royals 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
