Which is why the UCI went with Discovery/Eurosport for the MTB World Cup; RBTV isn't going to bring in massive numbers of viewers........only those who already know about the sport.

The advice of the late, great Richie Benaud (cricket commentator in Australia/ England) was to "let the pictures tell the story" - you don't need to talk every second.

WRC+ merely reflects the WRC as a whole; completely stale and in need of a refresh.......

Officially yes; but I doubt they have much influence. The coverage is nothing like other RBTV products.......In fact, the coverage is very much like the North One era.....bland, unimaginative, etc

Yes that's what is needed.....However, their business model is Pay Per View. And nothing will change.......So no new big money sponsors or new manufacturers....They go elsewhere.....

I've banging this drum for ages; they need a decent free to air product on YouTube. Regular output on events, weekly round up, lifestyle, tech, etc

As somebody already said, a lot of the people involved have been there since the ISC/North One era - so approx 20 years. And it shows....it's stale, tired and needs a massive refresh. One wonders...

Not good enough; happens far too regularly....

As I said yesterday regarding the Paul King commentary - they're still seemingly stuck in the North One era; the same camera shots, poor choice of stage side cameras, etc Considering how good Red...

I'm sure people have been saying this for the last 10-15 years - yet he still keeps his job. A 'relic' from the North One era, and he's not the only one.....

Their loss - and proves what they know about commentary of the sport......

He used to be the co-commentator on the live IRC events; very good, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable.

They've basically put all their eggs in the WRC All Live basket.....(which is almost understandable) but there is very little coverage not behind a paywall. And, I don't know if it's just a UK thing,...

ITV4 is a better fit for the sport than Ch5; however, this will be the 3rd time ITV4 will have had WRC highlights - the previous two occasions they dropped it due to low viewing figures.

After...

Where is the incentive for WRC2 entrants....a poor show in all. As you will know, it's a lot different in Sportscar multiclass racing, were the other categories get coverage.

Agree with this. All Live+ should be a premium product/ service. The there should be a better FTA product for those who can't/won't/not interested enough to pay. It's not hard. At the moment,...

BT Sport Extra 1Live is fine.....

What English drivers?? Meeke is from Ulster, Evans is Welsh, Breen is from Eire......

Whether you like it or not, English is the universal language; I think people are over reacting to supposed...

Sad about Rally radio - I think it's a mistake. Radio and Pictures/ TV are different.....

I wonder if they are trialling a few people - to see who is most comfortable? Problem is, most of the best motorsport presenters are already doing other series, so you have to take a gamble on people...

Agree. There need to be more 'free live content'. The one Saturday stage on RedBullTV is nice, but not nearly enough.....

Potentially, it could be very good. However, I got the feeling they've rushed it so that it's ready for the start of the Monte. When you're offering a paid 'premium' service, it simply HAS to work. ...

They won't listen, they know best.......or they think they do. The coverage hasn't really moved on in the last 10 years; still the same highlights, inane comments, etc

The problem is we, as a...

No live stages during Friday & Saturday. Why not?? The event was virtually over when they had the live stages today. I'm sorry, but they're not doing enough.
