Thanks for the heads up John... I woulda been pissed!

[wingerdor]

I figured it would be a repost, but I missed Laguna last year because it was on fox and was pissed. Watching the qualifying now. I'm just sad that I'm not in Indy again this year.

yeah, no rider interviews, crappy camera work, and scaled back HD quality that is comparable 720p ..

yeah but i actually thought it was an improvement over the coverage at laguna this year.

...and i hate that they go right to the start of the race. almost no pre-race coverage.

[Pestilence]

what the hell was that broadcast.. a commercial for labor day drinking or a motocycle race filled with dispickable commentary and lousy.. no, ZERO pre/post race coverage.

[markbvt]

That was some of the worst race coverage I've ever seen. And it figures that the two big incidents had to happen during commercial breaks.

Do you guys need to complain about everything? MotoGP does not have a big following in this country yet, which means that the coverage isn't heavy.

[DuncanMoto]

That's why they need to leave the Moto GP to Speed channel and not the Fucks netwok.

[kb1]

I was just happy to have it in some sort of HD rather than half my 56" like it usually is...SPEED just needs HD coverage is all.

And good for someone who landed on a podium...(no spoiler...but if you saw it you'll know who I mean!!!)

[Pittenger5]

Football has TV timeouts, why cant racing?

[Kitt]

Yes, I was REALLY REALLY happy about the guy on the short side of the podium!!!!!!!!!

[R7]

I had to turn the volume off, it was that bad. Do the other countries watching have to listen to that shit as well?

[R-S-V]

+1, commentators suck big time. Coverage sucked, just feed the feed like the other races. At least it was HD.

[Evil_Weasel]

yeah...i love scott russell..but not as a broadcaster.

please just use the brit announcers from now on.though i think they did a better job with the camera work and replays than they did at laguna earlier this year.

i hate the fact that there is no "pre-race" show. every other damn sport has at least a half hour of pre-game.

[nixoid]

Was Scott Russell that mush mouth? He reminded me of Dauber from King of the Hill... Made it painful to watch. Also, WTF! Commercials during the best two moments of the race and the replays sucked on that. Fox should be fired. They aren't committed to MC Racing and are just going to turn people away from the sport..... Speed sucks because of the limited audiance that can view it. No wonder MC racing is a European sport.

[KillBill]

Caught the last 17 laps yesterday......good race.....was great
to see one of ours finish in the top 3

Except for the Rossi DNF...I'd have prefered a repeat of the Brno...although from my seat on top of T1, it was VERY clear that Rossi pushed very hard toward T2 to catch Jorge. So it seems to me that Rossi got caught in his own game of pushing (recall he was pushing Jorge at Brno and Jorge low-sided out). Now the points are more even...and that's good. As for Pedrosa, I cheered out loud when he went down (I'm not a fan), and got dirty looks from a few people around me. F them. Great weekend. Qualifying was fun...125 race was the best of all three, hands down.

I jumped up and down when Rossi crashed, I truly respect the guy for his abilities but I just think he's pompous, almost reminds me of Derek Jeter, Kyle Busch, Kobe Bryant type. I was happy to see Lorenzo finally get a big win for himself, Rossi played too many games and paid for it. Lorenzo has taken a lot of heat for DNFing a couple of races due to "Rossi pressure." Here was a chance for Lorenzo to show his capabilites. He is VERY fast, was running faster laps than Rossi most of the weekend, and he played it well.

I also like Pedrosa so I wasn't happy to see him crash out, I like seeing other guys up in the contention other than Lorenzo and Rossi. But I know Pedrosa was going to go down, you could tell he was pushing the bike way to hard. Although I was mighty impressed with the time he made up after crashing, wow was he flinging that bike around.

It was good to see Hayden finish well, but he made me mighty nervous tying to catch the second place spot towards the end, he was really pushing that bike hard, but definitely a well deserved podium.

Finally working that Ducati

and I do agree with you on Rossi, but he is probably the best racer
we will see in our lifetime.

I think Lorenzo is going to surprise some people over the next few years, and there are a lot of young racers that haven't made the GP ranks who could be very strong as well.

250 race is worth watching....
