Watching it after means you can fast forward lots of wasted time! On 9/2/2021 at 7:06 PM, chris4gillian said: Each to there own. I get the ads thing, but the rest for me is part and parcel of speedway. The bad part of Speedway in my view! Seeing a clip of so much wasted time at the start puts me off going! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lbw 869 Posted September 7, 2021 Why haven't Eurosport made the coverage any better. They should do what Premier Sports/Freesports do and interact with the fans during meetings by reading out questions & messages from social media. Instead we get the same garbled nonsense from Tatum & Pearson! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terrace Grumbler 337 Posted September 9, 2021 Statler & Waldorf have got that gig in their pocket for the foreseeable. Not a patch on Millard or Lanning though. And I thought Sam might be more insightful than he has been to date. Peter Adams would be the man for that job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We all know a better gate gives you a massive advantage, so it is vitally important to score as many as you can. Also if you go out in the semi it gains you the point against the other rider going out in the other semi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
