After suffering Robbie Nock in 2010, after (if memory serves) excellent coverage in 2009, I can't believe this 2 by 4 is anchoring eurosport again. Even johnny herbert and the lovely Justine, struggle to rescue it from Nock & Kirby! Why don't they hire Martin Haven to anchor it?

It comes across as if he never watches any motor sport at any other point of the year other than when he's covering Le Mans for Eurosport!

Didn't bother with the TV commentary last year, just muted it and left Radio Le Mans going instead. Glad we did as most of the action seemed to be happening during ad breaks.

He must have a huge cock, or an amazing personality, that isn't coming over on screen, he was stumbling over his script, and his scripted questions are poor as well!

So that's who that inept anchorman was - Robbie Nock - a name to remember for all the wrong reasons.

Can't say I've ever seen him do anything else on Eurosport, is he a 'gentleman presenter'? Does he pay Eurosport a wodge of cash to appear at Le Mans. The other bloke's not much better, the drivers are all much better at TV work than the presenters.

EXACTLY! the only saving grace for the race you can turn the sound down and stream RLM up.

Jeez - that was one of the most amateur shows I have ever seen! The Nock chap is a twonk of the highest order - seems like Eurosport just grabbed a random bloke from one of the campsites and gave him some headphones and a microphone. I can't remember the last time I saw someone looked so scared presenting a tv programme rolleyes

Shhhh!

I tried to sign up for the Eurosport Player but kept having issues and web form errors and got nowhere... Could not get as far a inputing card details etc frown

Then for the hell of it I tried logging in with the username/password combo I'd tried to submit on the web form and vioila, free Eurosport Player access biggrin

Not sure how long it will last but working great so far, very happy!!!

Worst case I have to cough up the £7.50.

A whole day to prepare/rehearse his intro, and it's still painful
