British Superbikes on Sky

[Cleve]

... And Nitro Nori is in it too

That was last season. This year Kiyonari is back in. 3 x BSB champion (same as Shakey). However Kiyo is not going well at all this year. Way back.
I have been following BSB for several years (I am in on the Racing for Me site).
It is mostly great racing - and some of those British tracks are great.
Try this for size!

Hell yes it is so much better

I guess for me it's like most sports I watch on TV. The club game/race may be more exciting, but I will always prefer to watch the top level version.

Oh ratshit, what he doing this year?

BSB is not exactly 'club' level. Besides, even in GP terms moto3 and moto2 have eclipsed the main event in terms of racing. I can't actually remember the last GP where someone didn't just disappear into the distance to win.

Yeah a bit odd that. Not sure, but I think his crew chief is Adrian Gorst, a kiwi. They have worked together successfully before.

I think Kiyonari did last year on 600s, does seem a bit odd to be diving around changing classes at his level?
But then maybe it's getting harder for him to find the rides he wants.
Great rider, but like the rest of us getting older.

I got the same thing, so emailed sky asking what the?? So will post up if the reply, I also asked if they are going to replay the races in that time as a few would have done the same thing. It is because it is not series linked yet.

Fucken sky moved the goalposts, that is why you only got first race. I had mine all set to record, from 11.55 - 5 am, and I checked before I went to work.

When I get home this morning, I see that I too only got 71 mins of racing, so sometime they changed things.

I had no problems finding it was 4 separate programs after I typed my post "Sweet.... Cheers"...
So not sure what you did wrong? It was pretty obvious the first and last one was live, and the middle 2 were replays.

All that said, I still haven't got around to watching it.......

I watched both races an found it a bit boring. the coverage is pretty average i thought. An that track looked like a goat track. just saying

I just didnt find it 10x more interesting racing than the gp's( as some people find it) not by a loooooong shot. No on boards camera's. Camera seemed to be two villages down the rd

Yeah, well there are a few dollars difference between MotoGP and BSB. The amount of money Dorna spends on its TV production must be astronomical. If your interested, Scott Jones did an interview with Sergi Sendra about the whole system that goes from track to track and the setup thats required. Its very interesting reading in so much as it boggles the mind with the amount of wiring, cameras and general equipment goes into the whole show. BSB doesn't stand a chance putting together a system like that.
