WSBK and BSB 24th 25th July Quest TV

[Mr Dendrite]

A heads up that Eurosport has gone Olympic crazy and has a million channels running on it, but none on either WSBK or BSB.

However they are showing a combined program on Quest free view each day. Otherwise it’s the Eurosport player. Note if you have Amazon prime you can get a 7 day free trial of the Eurosport player through it.

I think it will like this until the Olympics are over!

Anyone watching this and their TV appears to have hiccups?

No but that crash in bsb doesn't sound like good news.

[airsafari87]

Only just watched the 1st WSB race so haven't seen any BSB yet.
But what the hell is going on with Toselands accent? Where has he picked that up from?

Warm up lap 17:32

Brookes has woken up. But then it might dry up and he could drop back.

[Tom Logan]

I don't understand Brookes' issues, it's not as though he's not used to the V4, Iddon certainly seems to get the best out of it.

He made a point of saying it's a brand new bike, as last years was sold to a private collector and despite everything supposedly being the same, obviously he thinks something is amiss. As James Haydon said yesterday, they need to get last years bike off the collector and get him in on it to see if it's in Brookes' head or something is genuinely different with the new bike.

I think it’s his new Hollywood gobblers….

[Mr Tidy]

What a weekend - WSB and BSB live. Thank you Quest. :thumubup:

The only downside was Brad Jones' crash - I hope he comes out of that OK.

[Jazoli]

Just to add to this Eurosport showed the full live programme of races for WSB and BSB on their app, it really is very good, you can pause/rewind and everything is on there on demand immediately if you don't want to watch live, it's well worth the £40/year.

Yes, two weeks on the trot now, on Sky HD, Quest has had issues. If it is "live" it blue screened out every few seconds, if you rewind a short time, a minute even, it was OK.
But if you rewound any time for anything, then FFWded, it would just BACKWARDS to the start of the programme, as soon as you hit the FFWD button.
Only on Quest HD, never seen it before anywhere on Sky and Sly HD for 22 years!

Very odd.

I was talking with someone the other day who Brookes rode for and he is sure it's all in his head as he has seen it before when he was riding for him, and he has some real psychological need for things to happen and be a certain way in order for him to be happy.

For example, during testing or free practice he could go out and do a mega full race run on knackered tyres and end up in P2 ont the timing screens with 3 mins to go. Say someone else was out there chucking tyres at rhe bike for the full session and was P1 but 0.1 of a second. Despite all advice from the team and his crew chief he would insist on a new set of tyres being put on just so he could go out there and see himself in P1 on the timing screens even though it meant absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I think the term he used to describe Brookes was, 'A very deep and complex character'

Paid £16 for mine for the year for the last 4-5 years. Signed up via Polish Eurosport (someone posted on here about it) and it automatically reverts to the host broadcaster of your country (so British Eurosport in the UK) when you login and no need for a VPN or anything. Bob the Eurosport app on your Amazon Firestick and watch it via the app, on the big TV for £16 a year :-)

That's very strange. I watched it on Quest HD and had no problems, but that was via a Freesat box.

Was all good on Quest HD on my old Sony HDTV with built-in Freeview tuner..
