Polite Message To British Eurosport...


Please please please please please will show you show more 250cc coverage.
Practice of course, and most crucially - qualifying!!!
Can there be any reason why it's okay to show us 125cc qualifying and NOT 250cc???

Sort it please - cute as my laptop is, I'd rather watch it happening on the telly than in a teensy embedded web video... ;)

and qualifyings for germany as well, please! :)
(although it won't be eurosport next year anymore, but a german pay-tv channel...).

there are actually some reasons why they don't broadcast all qualifyings. first of course the time for other programs (as if there were other kinds of sport even remotely important as that...) and when they have to choose they mostly skip the 250cc qp, because it's later in the day and they might squeeze in some other live broadcasts at that time.
at least that is what they tell us.
my expert opinion is that they try to keep their transmitters from exploding because of too much adorkability on air. ;)

I think the adorkability overload is the only possible / acceptable explanation.... ;)
Given they have more than one channel they really should prioritise a comprehensive coverage against all classes on a race weekend.
The schedule is predictable so they should really be able to make a better job of it.
