NW200 highlights

[conor337]

When you turn in a highlight programme you normally expect to see the major incidents off the day. So far greenlight/BBC have missed William going over the grass at juniper in the 600 race 1, guy martins crash, john mcguinness having a huge highside moment at metropole seconds before Seeley goes straight on which was also missed! Shocking

They also decided just to tell us that cam Donald went from 5th to 3rd on the last lap instead of showing us! Have tweeted greenlight and Watson to ask why!

Have to say the coverage was poor,to much on board footage and birds eye views.

Can't imagine they missed the incidents, but in the light of what happened to Mark Buckley, perhaps they toned it down as it may have come across a tad tasteless.

Well said , I enjoyed being there for the Thursaday and Saturday, but arrived home with a heavy heart at the sad news about Mark Buckley.
Watched the highlights on both nights and enjoyed the shows. Cannot please everyone I suppose.

well,, Ansteys and Cummins Visor sponsors certainly got their moneys worth!
think it was edited to suit certain parties as well!

Having watched both nights highlights, I must say the camera work was excellent. Multiple onboard cameras gave graphic views of what the riders see during the race and the close shaves than most fans rarely see.
I can well imagine it must have been a nightmare to edit with so many pieces of footage to bring together in such a short space of time. Thats were I felt some of the coverage was let down as there were times it jumped about between riders at different parts of the circuit and you didn't quite know where you were.

I just hope they take a little more time before producing the inevitable DVD as it would be a shame to spoil the excellent footage by codging it together.
One other wee issue which just grates me with the BBC coverage is the silly staged interviews with the leading riders before each race. Whilst the greekeeper at Royal Portrush probably enjoyed the opportunity for beating the pants of Michael Rutter on his lawnmower, it came across as a bit amateurish. I'd far sooner see Rutter with his overalls on tightening a few nuts on his bike with a pair of dirty overalls on than faffing about on a lawnmower. I know it was probably done for his sponsors, but theres bound to be something a little more subtle.
Mini winge over but thoroughly enjoyed the actual race action.

I thought the camera angles were good but in my opinion the commentary was poor, bring back Keith Huewen!
