rennie Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 A slightly strange but interesting first couple of races from Australia!Not sure what's going on with the tyres and compulsory pit stop in race2!The outcome doesn't appear to be as clear cut as the last few years.Good to have bikes on the TV again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fq-craigus Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Not happy about th3 coverage, adverts in feature race, not live so skipping laps, one second rae was 5th then next second he is 2nd. Also when th3 second batch were exiting the pits why the hell was th3 camera on Jacobson in 1st when he hadn't pitted and not on where all the action was Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rennie Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 The highlights will probably be on ITV4 in the week.We have Eurosport so recorded the races and watched when we got up.The pitstops seem to have confused everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fq-craigus Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I just didn't get why they had to take a certain time in the pits, get in get out job done Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_W Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I just didn't get why they had to take a certain time in the pits, get in get out job done Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk As it is a mandatory stop they are forcing on them, they set a minimum time to try and stop the better teams gaining (or too much of) an advantage.It's to try keep the gaps the same coming out the pits as going in.

goody Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Decent opener but not a fan of the new rulings, highlights on itv4 tue 8pm if anyone missed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tPIC Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Just caught up on this. Not a massive fan of the coverage - esp. post the pit stops in race 2. Some close racing bodes well for the season. I like the look of the Hondas this year, but will still be hard to look beyond those Ducati’s and Kawasaki’s over a full season.Good to see some bike racing on the telly though!

fq-craigus Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Is it just me or again the coverage from eurosport was poop. See the first 3 laps had some adverts and then join back at lap 7 from lap 17??????
