I don't know why you guys hang on Tatum's every word... bizarre!

There's only really 1 top tier commentator with any Speedway knowledge and that is Darren Fletcher and there's no way he's going to lower his sights to Speedway! I suppose the other option would be Dave Rowe (2nd tier) and while he's knowledgeable you get the impression that his face doesn't fit as surely he'd have been given a chance by now. 

I'd take Dave Rowe or Dave Goddard as lead commentator in a heartbeat.

Kelvin and Chris are just taking the cash no interest in the riders and screaming “blimey that was scary”.No homework done “just never seen him ride”. Imposters.

They didn't do their homework on how to pronounce Villads Nagel's name either, it's pronouced Nail.

Did no one else hear Kelv say that at the start of Heat 27 Michelsen was riding lol 

Yup …..I heard that too …..will the pair of them still be commentatingremotely for the Final. ? It’s really amateur with audio out of sync , graphics wrong, scores incorrect . I don’t know what feed of  info they get from trackside, but it clearly distracts Tatum more than Louis.

Pretty sure he was interviewed on BSN and he said it wasn't pronounced Nail.

No it's not. The rider himself confirmed on BSN it's pronouced how it's spelt. I think he might know better than you do!

I hope and Cairns would be better to stay with the same team for a few years.

Yep I'd go Cairns & Rushen for next time and stick with them while they are eligible. Presume its a SWC event next year rather than SoN?

Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser. I thik it was Ivan Mauger who said that.

Indeed he did.  He also said "nothing teaches you like riding abroad & getting a hiding", GB guys rode as well as they could, got a good heat win in their last ride, will defo learn from the experience & so do better next time.  Regarding Lambert apparently not recognising PC, Ivan once made an unannounced & unintroduced visit to the Hull pits, Craven Park era 2000 or so, after talking to all the riders one was heard to remark "who was that bloke & what does he know about speedway ?!".  As it happens, Ivan knew quite a bit about speedway😉....
