EUROSPORT

[Gerrard]

What a shambles from Eurosport - regardless of the scheduled times advertised it was a bit of racing here, half a race there with tennis shoved inbetween, bloody pathetic!!
I can understand them wanting to put tennis on instead of watching paint dry, but they could have put all the bike racing in one bit and shown it all together or is that to complicated? We will see if British TV can do any better,
if they can?t make a better fist of it then I?ll watch it on Spanish TV!

recorded it on euro2 and watched it later. good racing for a change

What was even more annoying, was the fact that while waiting for the racing to come one... Eurosport flased the result on screen, thus spoiling the following race...:bang:


How feckin stupid can some folks be ???

No... Dont bother answering that one...I think I already know the answer...

Peed off,

Racing

Yea Rolfy..... that was dumb to put the results up on the screen :tosser:
Still as JD said... it was good racing.
My thoughts were.
Corser..Done what he had to do.
Toseland..Must get off the starting line a bit quicker.
Bayliss..Needs 10 klm more speed.
Haga and Kaggayama.... will get a slap for taking each other out...
Lanzi....looks like a win it or bin it rider.
Should be a geat season....and Toseland might just do it...
Zippo

Well I watched it live Saturday moring and I thought they did a great job with the coverage.. only one advert break in each race and they showed you the action after so you didnt miss anything... expected really from a free view channel.

now if you talk about expensive skye sports coverage I could understand..
?500 per year to watch adverts... wtf
I always watch the racing on eurosport GP's / supers.. best coverage by far with the best comentators..


Edit: it was live on eurosport 2.. btw the racing was awesome as well lol

 

[Gerrard]

Well Oldbull...... I must of been watching differant program matey as mine was stopped for a load of tennis?....
Next week its down to OZ lets hope its a bit better....

 

[Oldbull]

Did you watch it live ??

I know they put something else on after the 600 race, untill the second live superbike was due to start. Didnt think it spoilt the actual races too much tho. I know the repeats where a bit hit and miss afterwards with the other live events running over etc. Once the winter sports get out the way in a couple of weeks time hopefully things will get better...

I have a sneaky feeling James T is gonna turn the locals over in OZ, that Ten Carte bike is damm fast and its a horse power circuit and they have some local settings from last year off Vermulen ...

Cant wait me

Cant knock eurosport to much as they where the first to bring the live racing to our screens and made it popular enough for the terestrial boys to get in on the act .. bout time too s04pb0x6

WSB OZ

I hope Toseland makes a good show of it, but there is a lot of Ozzies in WSBs so it will be a free for all and a right hot race - Tales of joy and tales of woe - Home crowd - Eat my shorts and all that stuff!! man8um
Looking forward to it.

Paul,
The circuit is north of Almeria. From our place we take the E15 Murcia & Granada direction and exit the m-way at Junction 453 (A92 Gudaix & Granada). At the roundabout, take 4th exit (A92 Gudaix & Granada).
Exit the m-way at Junction 376 (N340a, Tabemas & Murcia).
At the roundabout, take the 2nd exit (Murcia & Tabemas), go over the ridge and follow the road.
After the sign for Circuito, turn left into the circuit entrance and follow the road into the paddock.
We're around this weekend if ya wanna catch up. I'll give ya a call.
Laters.
