Would be nice but I'm doubting it. The footage was shocking. Streamed by 4G on what seemed like camera phones from two motorbikes in a 3G area.
Yup, seemed really bad! I couldn't quite understand how bad it was for coverage as there's not many hills around that part of the world, but if streaming over 3G that would certainly answer it. What a joke!
I could have sworn they had better coverage last year? It might have actually been on TV too rather than just youtube/GCN?
Yup coverage last year although a bit spotty had several motorbikes and 'streams'. I recall seeing footage of Bibby trying to chase down Connor Swift, which then dropped, so they covered the Peloton without knowing what was happening up front! Then footage of Connor finishing and no sign of Bibby so we know he hadn't caught him lol.
Will hunt down YT footage, but really hope there's a catchup/highlights show with some decent footage... The early footage on ES last night didn't seem to have any overlay/UI with gaps/names or anything. Just Carton Kirby and think it was Andy Tennant trying to identify riders by their pedalling/riding styles lol. They where doing amazing considering what they where given! Seemed really amateurish whoever was tasked with televising the race, I guess we're just so well used to the European races, BC track cycling and things like the Tour Series where they're run regularly enough to be well polished, professional and slick shows/coverage/footage we just expect the same of our Nationals.
