They show the start but then don't show why the Safety car came out & on top of that also miss the restart.

There was no reason for it to be delayed on British EuroSport 2 anyway as there was no live event scheduled before it & the program they were showing finished 5 minuites before the GP2 coverage was due to start.

That was pathetic even for Eurosport. Miss the first lap and a half to show some ancient rally crashes then start showing the bit we missed, miss the restart and not even get to the crash that caused the safety car! A six year old could poduce better television.

Totally ruins my enjoyment of a race to miss the start. Why Eurosport continues to treat its viewers with total disdain, almost 20 years after I started watching, is beyond me. If they had genuine problems with the feed, then any other professional TV channel would have an on-screen explanation/apology. The twats running Eurosport are f**ing amateurs. It must be embarrassing for Martin Haven sometimes knowing he's working with such pricks.

The reason for missing the start was quite obvious, some boring live snowboarding. I'm amazed why they always plan 2 live events so close after each other. And why that snowboarding wasn't live on British Eurosport is another mystery, like why some eurosport versions show GP2 in widescreen and others don't.

On British Eurosport, I love how they've got someone in to re-voice over that Eurocrash programme from two years ago without ever bothering to make a new one!

What's the point in that? Same crashes, same words, just a different man speaking them? :?

Anyway on to GP2, and it was a great race aside from the Eurosport troubles.
Battling all the way through the field and a last lap pass for the win. You can't really ask for better can you? :)

Well that wasn't the case on British Eurosport. When I tuned in just ahead of the scheduled GP2 start time, the programme before (GP2 race 1) had already finished, and they started showing the crash compilation for no apparent reason. So it sounds like snowboarding overran on International ES2, and the British version couldn't cut to the live coverage at an earlier time then?

Then to compound their ineptitude, they miss the restart when attempting to show what we'd missed that caused the SC.

About Eurosport 2's frequent lack of 16:9, I've read the reasons elsewhere (digitalspy forums) but am not technically minded enough to understand them. It seems pathetic in this day and age to have to watch coverage with vertical letterboxes.

It was quite a good race though, action right up to the last couple of laps.

Gp2 Asia in Bahrain this weekend.

Bianchi claims maiden GP2 pole

By Matt Beer Thursday, February 25th 2010, 13:28 GMT


Jules Bianchi claimed his first GP2 pole position in an extremely close battle with Asia series points leader Davide Valsecchi at Sakhir.

The Formula 3 Euro Series champion put his ART car on the top spot by just 0.003 seconds over iSport's Valsecchi, while Javier Villa (Arden) and Luca Filippi (Meritus) were also within 0.049s of pole.

Valsecchi had initially looked set to continue his run of success, moving 0.3s clear of the field when he found a clear lap in the middle of the session.

But he was swiftly pushed back to fourth as first Filippi, then Bianchi moved to provisional pole, and Villa claimed second.

Then in the final minute of the session Valsecchi improved to 1m43.478s and appeared to have done enough to claim another pole - only for Bianchi to throw in a 1m43.474s and earn his first GP2 pole in his second weekend in the category.

Villa and Filippi remained on the second row, with Alvaro Parente announcing his return to the series with an impressive fifth place on his first appearance with Coloni.

Valsecchi's iSport team-mate Oliver Turvey was in the fight for pole initially before being pushed down to sixth, ahead of Giacomo Ricci (DPR), Christian Vietoris (DAMS), Charles Pic (Arden) and Sergio Perez (Addax).

The other two returnees Yelmer Buurman and Adrian Zaugg were back in 16th and 18th with Ocean and Trident, while Jake Rosenzweig (Super Nova) will make his GP2 debut from the back row.

1. Jules Bianchi ART 1m43.474s
