I suppose Eurosport TV coverage is better than nothing but did we have to have that commentator being the Prophet of Doom and Gloom every 5 minutes, all he did was comment on how badly everyone had done....and he was just yaking on all the way through each class...Sara Rust is excellent and talks sense but he just talked over her with his stupid comments.....and then not his fault obvioulsy, they cut to adverts just as Robert Whitaker was approaching the first fence in the final round of the Six Bar...how rude !! and we didnt get to see Laura Renwick's 4 fault round in the 5 fence challenge because they cut to adverts again !!

Not Eurosport but ....

The highlight was Mike Tucker reading out live on air, the phone number of the lady who won the H&M rug, bet she was thrilled with that ???!!!

Bring back Sky Sport's Coverage to Olympia or better still BBC get your act together and cover the whole of Olympia, HOYS, and Hickstead like you did in the good old days....

Rant over .......
 
Watched BBC red button on Freeview channel 301 - was on for the whole evening bit like it used to be on the '70s. Was good, a bit of yakking by the commentry, but overall not bad. Could have done with some interviews behind the scenes to cover the interval though.

who is that commentator on Eurosport? really annoying, very patronising to 'lady' riders and sounds like a bad 70's DJ?

thought BBC's coverage good-at least some effort put into explaining stuff.

Richard Vaughan is the man, people have complained about him before.....!! Sara Rust should be left to do the commentary on her own, she knows what she's talking about !!
 
It was a shame that Eurosport only covered the "sport" none of the entertainment. Would have loved to have seen more on BBC.
 
Bring back David Vine!!!!

Come on BBC we pay for your channel so get your act together and give us our Olympia Coverage!

Don't often watch the eurosport as get too frustrated with the idiots cutting to ads whenever they feel like it! Which is every 7 mins!
