nw42 2,053 Posted August 10, 2013 They had put one of the cameras on the back of his bike and this came flying off on the second lap. Assume it came lose after the tight first bend Ok thanks. These cameras are something else in terms of the quality of view they give, really impressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pandorum 1,259 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Fantastic coverage by Eurosport. I don't care if the commentary is less than perfect, it's good enough for me. Frankly it's brilliant that they cover the series, providing a superb HD picture too. I do think it's extremely rude to go somewhere as a commentator and mispronounce the name as it is insulting to the people who live there. The moron who isn't a speedway rider thought Copenhagen was Moldow and now Tolyatti is ToGliatti. It's like those morons who go to MaLLorca instead of MaYorca. Just nit picking perhaps but I don't really rate the guy above Sooty never mind someone like Pearson Edited August 10, 2013 by pandorum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manchesterpaul 447 Posted August 10, 2013 Can hear that the crowd is making quite some noise just not the greatest audio mix on the tv. A better mix would enhance the atmosphere somewhat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manchesterpaul 447 Posted August 10, 2013 Another racy win by Tai. Can't wait to see him and Emil battle for both the World and European crowns in 2014.....ummmm 2013 too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted August 10, 2013 The moron who isn't a speedway rider thought Copenhagen was Moldow and now Tolyatti is ToGliatti. It was a different presenter who was so heavily criticised for his summaries up to and including the Copenhagen Grand Prix. I believe his name was Tony Carter. This is Steve Day who presented the Cardiff Grand Prix, has commentated on both European Championship rounds so far and thankfully took over the GP summarising with Scott in Terenzano. It seems it's not only TV presenters who don't know names.... On a different point, anyone else think the meeting might get a little more interesting if number 19 were allowed out on his OTHER speedway bike? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well pray tell us all which utopia you watch your speedway in, I mean where do you go to find 15, 20, or even 22 heats of close, exciting speedway with more passes in every race than you could shake a stick at, where you could throw a proverbial blanket over all 4 riders for all 4 laps. Go on you miserable soul, share the secret of speedway heaven. You either know nothing about the sport or you're on the wind up, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and congratulate you on reeling me in, well done.
