rennie Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 The season starts this weekend in philip Island! We're going away so I won't see it. I presume it'll be on eurosport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Davey Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Ah, right. I'll wait and let someone else ask what the"K" is for. I've got World Super Bike K.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideWithStyles Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Eurosport, far more tangible as get bsb and world endurance though i wish they did more rounds else where. Spa was brill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 I've caught up on all 3 races now Good to see bikes back on TV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 We've struggled to get decent recordings on eurosport of the world supers! This weekend we signed up to Discovery+ which is free if you have sky and was so much better at getting what you want when you want Anyway Good bit of racing from the weekend with some promising riders this year instead of it being a one man race like last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just record the whole day now and use the fast forward button Pretty much this! It's been hit and miss with the recordings and some times show in the wrong order or miss some of the racing! BSB is better it just records all day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Working Class Hero Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I despise Eursport. They always mix up the timings and then the recordings don't work. I add buffers to the start/end of recordings, but even this doesn't help sometimes. For race 2 on Sunday, I missed the last lap!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullscreenaging Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Eurosport used to record the WSBK all day. Then a couple of years ago it changed to separate recordings for supersport and superbike, then individual races when it started showing on Discovery+. It’s a pain I the arse trying to get them recorded now. I missed the whole of race 2 on day 2 because of the red flag in the supersport race. I did find it on D+ the next day, but I’d already inadvertently seen the result. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s the beginning of the end of WSBK being shown on Eurosport and it going to a paid subscription somewhere.

Blackholesun Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Missed the second race due to the recording messed up cos of the delay but thankfully watched it on discovery plus which was perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Anyway thats enough about why eurosport is shite at recordings Any predictions for champion this year? Personally I think its still too early to predict but Bulega looking good out there as is Alex Lowes! I think my money is going on those two I think toprak is going to struggle with the bike but I do think he is still going to do well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgrump Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Well for a Guy who was banned for 4 years, The Maniac surely is my tip for the top, or a close second, and loved his tribute to the GO show. [never forget Antony's Gobert's 2000 race ] But as you said @Stu, Bulega seems fast, especially in the first race, and in the latter stages of third race. Will be a very interesting season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Good point @oldgrumpI forgot about the maniac! Although I never knew he had been banned for 4 years! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgrump Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 He was banned in 2019 on a doping charge for 18months, he appealed and ended up with 4 years, Australia was his first competitive race back. He was always a rider I liked even in his early days on the 125 and Moto2, he's a bit headstrong at times, and I'll never forgive him for that move when he took down his team mate Dovizioso on the last lap in 2016!!!!!! Haha bloody hell I'm feeling old when I look back at some of the race's!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullscreenaging Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Phillip Island usually throws up some surprises and is not a reflection on how the season will pan out. My top 5 in no particular order A Lowes Iannone Locatelli Bulega Toprak Bautista I know. That’s 6, but I think when Bautista is fully fit he will get to grips with the extra weight. I can’t call a champion just yet, but with Rea out of the picture this year I would like to see Alex take it. This on Iannone https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2020/11/10/andrea-iannone-receives-four-year-ban-after-losing-appeal/163581 Edited March 1 by fullscreenaging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackholesun Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Is it just me or does it seem odd that they schedule wsbk and MotoGP on the same weekend ie this weekend ? With such a large gap between wsbk races wouldn't it seem more obvious to schedule races where there is no clash to get more bums on seats and TV viewers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
