KIRKYLANE 537 Posted May 11, 2022 Good to see the Premiership highlights on QUEST..Especially as they show all 15 races and leave out the interviews. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lbw 869 Posted May 11, 2022 Can't they make the graphics bigger? And sorry Sam, me thinks he's never been up to the TV stuff as the nerves always show. Simon Stead, Olly Allen would be good alternatives. Josh Pickering is a natural & Jason Crump . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob B 1,255 Posted May 11, 2022 Scott Nicholls would be best in the pits role obviously when not riding. Never rated Crump as a commentator back when he uses to do Aussie GO etc. Pickering was ok as a one off. Why isn’t Chris Louis being used? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commenting on other teams' riders might get some negative responses from some? Definitely the most informative and natural of all the co commentators, and should be used often...

I randomly switched Sky Sports on a few years ago and was staggered to hear him commentating on some other motor sport... may have been the Race of Champions or something like that Sam Ermolenko... the Stanley Unwin of Speedway Edited May 12, 2022 by iainb 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iainb 4,989 Posted May 13, 2022 I see that BT Sport and Eurosport are to merge so Speedway could be disappearing behind a pay wall once again... One can only hope that they keep Sam Ermolenko on the payroll or else it may not be worth subscribing to! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
