Is it correct that Eurosport will be showing the GPs obviously not live but highlights or something

I thought this yrs GPs were being aired live on Discovery+ that what i was led to believe anyway

My Dad who's 81 is now facing this dilemma as he wants that streaming package for the season, has a proper old TV and also bog standard broadband, ive told him he needs to upgrade to a smart TV and probably also get super fast fibre if he wants to watch it, least he has Sky Q so can access Discovery Plus tho, mind you saying that im not even sure Discovery Plus will work well without buffering if he doesn't upgrade to super fast fibre coz his speeds with standard broadband are woeful.

To many old fuddy duddy's who just like to moan for the sake of moaning, nowt changes

Think some people are stuck in the 70's/80's when greebo was a term for a person who liked heavy rock music, much like being called a headbanger i suppose, funny thing is im sure Lawson had actually had his hair cut short last yr compared to how long it used to be a couple of yrs back, he can't win with some people coz if he had it shaved off he'd then he called a skinhead

He's always been a dick under whatever name he uses to post stuff

Haps Kemp couldn't get to grips with the Foxhall track coz he was better away from home then at home, but from watching him last yr at Ipswich he was fine if he made the gate but didn't make much impression if he didn't and also seemed to back off far to many times if things got close with other riders, hopefully change of track will help but not sure he has the nerve when the racing gets tight.

Yeah he struggled there whilst at Wolves but sure he had no problems when he returned with Swindon.

So as Danyon has now signed f Glasgow in the other league who gets first dibs if there's a fixture class, Ipswich coz he signed for them first or Glasgow coz he's part of their 1-7 and not a number 8 on standby.

Haps they have a cunning plan to see how Heeps/Batch/Riss go the first month and if one of them ain't producing then use their average plus the not used nearly couple of points to bring in a 7 pointer from somewhere, but then again i doubt it, wishful thinking

Bit of an anti climax really after all the promise of a major clear out after last season, we can only hope and it's a big hope that Riss and Batch rediscover some form or its gonna be another short season, it's to late now but wouldn't Pickering and Allen fitted or are those 2 nailed on at Lynn/Belle Vue.

Wolves

Story going about originally was that Mr Worrell was getting a bit to friendly shall we say with Lawson's after half or so the rumours went apparently.

Be even better if both teams were using R/R then just promote the number 8 rather then use R/R, or is that to simple

Im sure i read somewhere that Rowe didn't want to be a RS due to the point money involved compared to what he could earn being a none RS in a team.

Can't see Buzz liking the tight lines round Foxhall, and from what i see of him this season in the Polish league he's still a scatty bugger lol why no Kemp? I know he rides better away from Foxhall but Rowe wasn't doing nowt special after the first couple of months home or away.

I think there was actually a 5 man squad, not splitting hairs or nowt, im sure Steady said Jordan Palin was also part of the team as a back up under 21 rider i assume, and he was caught on camera congratulating Lambert/Bewley after the final race

I thought the same to be fair, there was a slow motion replay and by the looks of it he was motionless soon as his helmet hit the track, so looked to me like he was knocked cold there and then, dunno how long for tho.

I'm in the same boat, i've got sky Q but ain't bothered with Discovery + as yet, dunno if it's simple to sign up for or not and also not sure if their 12 month free trial starts from when you sign up for it or is it 12 months from when Discovery + was launched.

Like many others prefer the old style scoring system but been having a quick count up using the old way of scoring where every ride counts and if my maths are right its summit like this, Artem 170/178, Bart 158/169, Emil 113/131, Freddie 110/122. First figure being every race counts, so the top 4 doesn't change, but still prefer old way of scoring

Why wasn't Erik Riss named in the squad?

From what ive seen of Kemp at Foxhall this yr he's turned into a bit of a gating tart, makes the gate he's fine, misses it and he hardly ever makes an impressive, also seems to ride the away tracks better then his home track, just hope he's not another of so many b4 him who is hyped up to much to soon and amounts to nothing.

I think it was spoke about going to two RS next year per team, mind you it'll all change b4 then and probably not for the better either.

Yeah Danny has been brilliant this year, it is a watered down league compared to what it was but just shows the older riders can still mix it with the younger ones, your got Danny the wrong side of 35, Harris 38, Andersen 39 and Nicholls 43 all having really good seasons, i think the new Rising Star boys can only dream about still being that good at that age, that is if they even get to that level to start with, and also have that long of a career in the sport.

It was mentioned on the Edinburgh thread that rumour has it Kemp and Rowe don't get on as their now gonna be team mates at Edinburgh and Ipswich, dunno if there's any truth in it tho.
