  1. Congratulations to Dan Linfoot and the SERT team. Gixers rule (endurance racing anyway). :cool:

    A search for Ducati showed a single entry:
    3 - TEAMROSSOBORDEAUX FRA SANTO DOMINGUES Alexandre FRA GRANZOTTO Clément FRA THIBAULT Matthieu FRA DUCATI - PANIGALE V4 Experimental .

    A search of the final classification showed:
    Retired
    42 TEAMROSSOBORDEAUX DUCATI PANIGALE V4 EXP 2 274 12:25:52.512 583 Lp. 69 Lp. 1:39.897 66 14 4:55:04.879

    A further search may show more information, this will hopefully provide a start, but I couldn't find a reference to a No. 6 Bike.

    Tom.

  6. Can you send this to eurosport please and explain to them its possible to have more than one type of motorcycling on a single channel in a weekend.
     
  7. Bit scraping the barrel entertainment wise for me when bsb and wsb is on.
    I even watched rally Croatia before i got round to the enduro.
    Should do it in the off season imho.

  8. Eurosport showed almost all the race live…
     

  9. That was kind of my point 24 hours of this and not a single minute of bsb or wsb on Sunday.

    Surely should have been the other way round (although I appreciate they’re trying to force everyone down the streaming route right now).
     
  10. I thought they also showed those races (just not live?) on their other channel as well as cycling (of course)

  11. They *could have stuck the start and finish on and ran it through the night instead of blanket coverage all day Sunday while there were more watchable events happening in the motorcycling world and I appreciate thats down to taste but i cant imagine for the life of me it got more viewers than a combined WSB/BSB weekend.
    Kind of all over the place and hard to keep track of - i didnt even know they were showing WSB Race 2 on Quest in the middle of BSB until Ricky X posted it in the other thread.
     
  12. Anyone watching the Bol d’Or?

    Guintoli mentioned last weekend whoever wins out of the factory teams wins the championship.

    Not looking great from ze Germans rn.
     
  13. Looks like bmw are going to win their first ever endurance world title.

    600 laps completed after 19 hours lol. Fuck that for a game of soldiers.

  14. There is a massive thunderstorm en route..could make it interesting.
     
  15. Bit of bad luck for BMW in the end, shame for Sylvain after the dreadful year he has had personally

  16. I didn’t see the end of it but seen the result. As usual TNT decided we’d had enough after 21 hours and scheduled something else instead.
    Utterly useless.
     
  17. Yes, completely stupid.
     
  18. TNT and D+ should not be allowed to broadcast bike sport.
     
    • Agree Agree x 1
  19. But who else will, shame Sky won't do a 2 wheel channel like F1.
     
  20. TNT have four channels and tried to cover (off the top of my head) the 24 hour, cricket, football, rugby, 2 separate World Cycling events as well as the World Championships, mountain biking, world athletics (and the list goes on).

    To be fair (as a Virgin Media subscriber) they've sorted their act out recently/over the summer via the red button which launches six more channels but it was totally non existent this weekend and even scheduled shows were completely unrelated at times - BSB was athletics at one point etc...

    Real shit show and i cant imagine it went un noticed from others not part of the motorcycle "community".
