Hope you're right. However I doubt we're better, faster or more reliable. As it is so even, Spithall owning us at the starts could be all that matters. I'll be stoked if I'm wrong. |

| 1436078 | 2017-06-13 01:06:00 | haven't watched the previous races, NOT paying skys outrageous prices. But looks like Sky must be getting soft to public demand :) in the statement released today, Sky TV said: "As excitement builds across the country, we are pleased to let New Zealanders know this event will be available to watch not only live on Sky Sport from 5am but also on Prime free-to-air from 6.30am each match day."

| 1436079 | 2017-06-13 01:09:00 | Burling looks like a over-privileged, spoiled, mummy's-boy/man to me so I don't think there's much mongrel in him. | zqwerty (97) | ||

It's like comparing a rally driver to a F1 driver. Both good drivers but at very different arts of the trade. And the AC is all about match-racing, and Spithall has all the experience. |

The radio commentary team do a great job . And thats free :) If NZ wins, where in NZ will they hold the next races ? Is Ak CBD now too expensive for the various Teams to setup in ? |
