old bob at herne bay 828 Posted September 30, 2021 that would need 2 cameras. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nw42 2,048 Posted September 30, 2021 Assuming Eurosport will have their roving reporter Dave Rowe at Owlerton on Monday, so maybe it wouldn't be too big a stretch to show the races alternately even without the use of multiple cameras, which tbh have been used quite badly for most matches this season anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair comment but maybe they could show just the actual minute's race rather than all the guff, wouldn't have to be live either, they could just squeeze in the Owlerton races as and when the opportunity arose, track grades etc. Edited September 30, 2021 by nw42 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knowing eurosport there would be riders racing for the finishing line four abreast and they would cut to the other meeting 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep remember standing on the back straight, someone had a nasty crash on the home straight, Loram perhaps? 2002? Remember seeing Topinka in a petrol station on the way home and he was a miserable git Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It only started raining heavily a few hours ago and the forecast said it was due to stop at 5, but it didn't, so they left it as long as they could, suppose it being on TV would have been part of the problem as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,254 Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) The local Yorkshire Calendar tv sport has just done a piece on the match no mention its been called off and they showed a picture of Nicki Pedersen in his Kings Lynn days 20 years ago , Edited September 30, 2021 by scoobydoo 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
