HAMMER57 27 Posted April 21, 2013 Well done Eurosports I like many have said did enjoy the coverage and no studio is great Do people think with all the good comments we can get them too cover the E/L. I for one would be well happy if it was too happen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Is that not classed as abusing Forum Members??? :angry: Stating a fact as I see it. Everyone is thanking Eurosport for providing us with the World feed, the same pictures sky gave us for years and people slagged off. Eurosport have no control over what they get other than being able to switch it off when it suits (as Sky used to do). Eurosport can't show any more than Sky could show and vice-versa. I'm all for the commenting on the preference of showing the feed all the way and not going back to the studio but some seem to be claiming the racing is better and the commentary is better (it was the same two people as normal last night!) and even the camera work is better - if Sky were showing the GPs the camera work would be the same! Well done Eurosports I like many have said did enjoy the coverage and no studio is great Do people think with all the good comments we can get them too cover the E/L.

AFAIK, Eurosport don't do any of their own filming, they just take the feeds of others so who do you propose films the EL is Sky don't?

Jive 47 Posted April 21, 2013 The VoiceOver after the ad breaks sounded like Tony Carter who fronts the live British superbike series for Eurosport. He's always plugging speedway on that show, I found the most annoying thing is the riders saying their names and the one liners, not good. But like others prefer no studio just all the action from the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted April 21, 2013 The only other thing is when the race is about to start, the riders faces appear above the gate they are in and say their name. .... Why do Nigel and Kelvin have to do those one liners ...... "Chris Holder" = Needs to find something ..... "Tomasz Gollob" = He's found something ..... "Krzysztof Kasprzak" = Yet to get on the score board ..... "Darcy Ward" = Has a hand injury ..... Aaaaarrrggggggghhhhhhh !!!! Otherwise pretty good We make up own 1 liners, its more fun! But probably not broadcastable! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Potter 2 109 Posted April 21, 2013 If last nights coverage had been rubbish (and it definitely wasn't) it wouldn't have mattered as the racing was exceptional. Hopefully the organisers will learn from it and prepare the other tracks like that. Agree one of the best prepared racetracks for years with plenty of different racing lines. Take note Tony Olsson Prepare a good track (not a motorway) and you will get good racing & passing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted April 21, 2013 Finally it seems the organisers asked the local trackstaff to sort the track. After all they should know best shouldn't they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HAMMER57 27 Posted April 21, 2013 SCB I did not say it was better coverage I said I enjoyed the coverage as it was shown live and I would not have a problem with watching E/L on Eurosport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orion 7,615 Posted April 21, 2013 Love the Eurosport coverage the racing is so much better than it was on sky 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted April 21, 2013 SCB I did not say it was better coverage I said I enjoyed the coverage as it was shown live and I would not have a problem with watching E/L on Eurosport But you can't watch the EL on Eurosport. BSI arrange for the GPs to be filmed, they then sell that recording on to Eurosport (previously Sky). Sky film the EL and show it on Sky. If Sky don't film the EL then there is no EL action for Eurosport to show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This I know but the point I was making if it was filmed by Eurosport I would not have a prop watching.As its looking like no Speedway on Sky next year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rusky 113 Posted April 21, 2013 Finally it seems the organisers asked the local trackstaff to sort the track. After all they should know best shouldn't they? Not the case as I understand it... The local trackstaff wanted a slick racetrack. Tony Olsson argued for a grippy track, and got one.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P T Preece 262 Posted April 21, 2013 Great coverage and no annoying Ermolenko and his computer, only one problem they missed the semi draws and final one as well, always like this as the riders always seem troubled. More please, no studio seems better, this was one of the best GPs for years, down to the track and not the filming no matter who filmed it, just glad they did..

T.N.T. 355 Posted April 21, 2013 Eurosport are showing the same feed that Sky used to show. They're not out there filming it themselves! Think most comments so far are concerning the commentary side of the show, not the filming and that seem to be much better without regular trips back to the studio and now keep watching what is being filmed with commentary over. The one liners as riders introduce them selves before each race are the only things I would stop and must admit came up with a few myself or added to theirs. ...... Kasprzak yet to score ....
