enotian 562 Posted May 2, 2022 it is boring but no more so than Poland vs ROW this afternoon. just goes to show you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. Pearson was polishing turds like this for years. Like Crumpie as a pundit but too similar to Kelv/Louis. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 2, 2022 What’s required is a critical foil for Kelvin. It’s ok agreeing on things but a bit of criticism of riders/conditions etc. isn’t bad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Pickering pulling out is strange. What is going on there? Edited May 2, 2022 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As someone else just said, Tatum, Louis and Crump all very similar and any of them are fine as a sidekick analyser, but the coverage desperately needs a lead specialist commentator. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is Sam on Discovery doing analysis on the gates? 5 wins from gate 3 already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe bring Dave Goddard in from Premier? Or Dave Rowe who is much better when he doesnt have to face the camera.. Edited May 2, 2022 by mikebv 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm presuming that information is exclusive to Discovery Sports subscribers!!! PS The Presenter, although used infrequently on the Eurosport coverage, seems really good.
