So who is Abi Stephens? Does she have a Speedway background? Her face seems familiar

She has done speedway before, can't remember if she stood in for Natalie once or maybe did some interviews in pits, definitely been involved in speedway before.

She did some pits work when Sky were broadcasting. Since then she has covered various other motorsports for BT and others, as well as Boxing,

She should be good.

 

ALSO very good to see a one hour highlights programme on Quest on Tuesday at 11pm. Quest is available on Freeview as well as Sky, Virgin and Freesat.

Abi last appeared on Speedway coverage for BT sports during the play off between Ipswich & Poole but has done lots of other Speedway meetings as well as regular Moto GP and World Rally car series 

It could be interesting to see who fans rate better at Speedway presentation Abi on Eurosport or Charlie on BT sport for the GPs

 Fairly sure Abi was in the pits area in the final too. She spoke to Rosco and Doyle just after Swindon won in 2019

Or Julia Bradbury was good.  Though must be a worry she would be late arriving as she seems to walk everywhere these days

Might be useful if Eurosport could make the effort to update this page. Going back to their press release when this deal was announced it said "The latest stories and news will be covered in-depth"

Since then (October 2019) there has been 1 article which announces the agreement to show the GPs and SoN from 2022. The fixtures page doesn't even have a section for British speedway and I'm not quite sure what the making of Jesse Lingard has to do with the sport? 

But at least on the schedule they've now updated Monday's fixture to 'Round 1' rather than saying it was from 'Blue Vale' as it suggested a couple of days ago. 

On a more positive note, the presenting/commentary line-up looks good and it's great that the sport will be shown on free-to-air TV. Hopefully we'll have an entertaining season!
