JamesHarris 382 Posted July 20, 2019 Not watched the GP or World Cup for a while so just hooked up to a stream of the new World pairs champs after reading rave reviews from last year. Just turned it off as well. What a bore. Rider touches the tapes - they spend ages getting ready for the re-run. Is there really any need for 5 mechanics to attend to the bike on track while they are waiting to re-start. In between heats drag on. Then after the round of heats have concluded we have 20 minutes of boring studio talk. Sorry for the rant but the presentation of the racing and studio coverage is like watching paint dry. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted July 20, 2019 That's what happens when they stage a prestigious event at a crap track. The 1989 world final at Munich was one of the worst tracks I've ever seen racing at. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
