at one stage of the event during Sunday elite finals, Redman was commentating, and announced “good luck riderrrs..” in 5 different languages, within less than 3 seconds.., just squeezing it in before the main call started to roll. I thought that was pretty cool. Cool

Would Redman have been paid , given flights etc. Were the Aussie commentators paid does anyone know. Was it equally shared? Have the Aussies commentated at other world titles?
Cheers

It was like listening to a Transit DVD! Great to get that feel to the event. Must say the Aussies Commentators kept him honest, they did an awesome job too. A little more informative too just quietly then big Mike Grin

to answer mr ex speaker, redman is on a contract to call 5 uci events each year, the 4 supercross world cup events plus the world titles. last year he missed adelaide sx and china worlds due to illness for 1 and divorce for the other. the aussie commentators were not paid at all.

hey gorey, when you had the photo with redman did you tell him the story that you had been bagging him out but had your mind changed or did you let that one slide??? i'm not having a go, just curious?
