The racing was excellent - all the 'thrills and spills' you could expect.
Sadly the programme was woefully inadequate. Although reasonably priced at £5 it only contained a list of entrants -in micro-type so that they all fiited on one page. There was no running order, no note of which rider was in which race, nowhere to record the results and no way to work out who or how many qualified from heat to final. Add to that two different riders with the same number, and confusion reigned. Some of the photos and potted biographies were Ok but not exceptional.
The commentary sound quality was awful. It was totally incomrehensible during a race with the between heat chatter broken, muddy and generally inaudible.
It cried out for a big screen to keep the fans informed, possibly come up with replays and show pictures of interviewees.
Whist I'm in a critical mode, the dancers were terrible - save the money spent on them and put it towards the big screen!
