WOW, amazing races in both classes. Good coverage online. I'm sold.

I think motogp still gets the nod for coverage and tech/riding level, but there's no denying the WSBK races are much hotter.

Race 2 was phenomenal! Stoked to only have a two week gap to round two this year.

[Paul_E_D]

Yeah, be interested too read about Sofuoglu's tire failure. I heard him say it exploded and he had to jump off the bike. Yikes

My DVR only recorded race 2(!!!)

Was race one labeled different or did you guys watch online?

And speaking of which, what is the best way to watch racing online? I want to ditch cable and only racing is stopping me.

[Paul_E_D]

Race 2 was the good one anyway. Watching online involves buying a subscription. Split it with a few buds and it's well worth it.

[McBiggity]

Great races.
I watched both from my racingforme account. Both races were available a couple hours after they finished.

I had the same problem with only getting race 2 through Verizon/BEIN.

I forgot all about that site. Downloading content seems so...2010. LOL

My DVR caught the race on Saturday and the Supersport (or whatever they call the 600s these days) on Sunday, which was also a good race with PJ Jacobsen in it, but almost missed race 2 on Sunday. Caught it and started the recording myself. DVR must have thought it was a repeat. I have a few saved searches that grab anything with the word Motorcycle, Superbike, Motocross, Supercross, MotoGP etc. Typically these will catch just about anything I want to record. Might have to check and see that new and repeats are selected instead of new shows only, just means I have to delete more stuff I have already seen.

I was given an invite from another forum member.

Race 1 was great. Race 2 was fantastic. SSP was crazy.

[gixxer72]

Round 2 did not disappoint!! WSS was wild! MotoGP better come out swinging at round 1 to match this intensity..

[Pittenger5]

The racing among the leaders is exciting, but I feel this is moving the way of F1. Every race gonna be kawi kawi ducati Honda honda

[JettaJayGLS]

Assen Race 1 was so good! Shame it didn't have the best last lap, but man. That was action the whole time. Haven't watched any of the other races yet, so I won't visit this thread until I do.

Watched Eurosport broadcast with commentary by Tom Gaymor , probably the worst commentary ever, especially race1, seemed he was watching a different race?
Does it reflect the current state of WSBK or is it something else? Figured Eurosport is big enough name to hire Big Names to cover races...

[jwm2k3]

Gotta admit, BeIn's coverage and broadcast/announcing is pretty friggin good. And I mean WSBK, AMA and MotoGP.

[JettaJayGLS]

Just finished supersport. Was it just me, or was Sofouglu riding like an absolute jack-ass. Pushed Krumenacker wide through the chicane after his own mistake and pretty much forced Jacobsen's second crash by, in my opinion, riding way way way overly aggressive in the wet.

[PainfullySlow]

Nope, you nailed it. It seems that he is getting desperate.

Gotta say though, for the past few years WSBK/WSS has been far better than MotoGP and I really like the BeIN coverage. No commercials during race time, etc. Awesome stuff. They are really doing their best to cover MA which I also greatly appreciate. All of the races from last weekend were superb.

[Gecko]

Agree that Sofouglu was riding too aggressively in the wet, but think (IMHO) the push of Krumenacker wide through the chicane was more a "racing" incident (and less of a "Iannone" type incident).

As for P.J., he just let Sofouglu get too much under his skin ... you could see (both) of P.J.'s crashes coming from a mile away. IMHO, all P.J. had to do was exercise some patients. It was P.J.'s to loose, and that's what he did. Meh, he's young, hungry and an amazing talent ... still time to learn, especially if Nicky continues to coach/support him.

[JettaJayGLS]

Did anyone see Guintoli's high side in SP2? Holy crap.

[gixxer72]

It got loud here today watching race 2, I hope this is the start of something good!!!

[theducman]

That was awesome. Even though I am a Ducati fan. I wasn't rooting for them today.

[jerseygirl]

I may or may not have cried a little bit yesterday....on the way back from Germany on a bus streaming the race. I also hope this is the start of something good!
