They've been doing a track grade every 4 heats and obviously decided that now wasn't the time to change. I can't believe they have the scores wrong, though!

Just to inform you and your co-commentator. As my old dad use to to say. ' you can't polish a turd' !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interestingly sad, and equally as pathetic that you'll spend the duration of your evening slating 2 people who are simply doing their jobs. This is a strange place, for sure.

mikebv 10,324 Posted June 2, 2018 Lots of track grading for one race.. Presume two more now between the last two races...? It would appear that to team ride, some riders need to get off their bikes, have a brew and maybe something to eat, and wait for their team mate to catch up before remounting...

Leicester Lion 274 Posted June 2, 2018 Got to commend Pearson and Tatum for treating us to the full range of their broadcasting skills during the extended break prior to heat 21. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they're doing their jobs wrong aren't they - or Nigel is anyway. Telling us before Heat 21 that Slovenia and Latvia were both out and Ukraine were in Heat 22. Keeping the score correct shouldn't be beyond the capabilities of the commentator should it? 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
