I am sick after watching that, all the comercials, interviews with NASCAR drivers, Greg White explaining what leathers are:crackup:, and of course every time they cut to comnercial, the leader crashed out.
I should have not even watched it and just downloaded proper European coverage. American broadcasting just does not get it.
Especially since Dianese has had the airbag leathers for a few years now, what a waste of time they could have been comvering the actual race. Now there is a genius idea:bs:
LOL yes FOX sucks ass and no one wants to see some damn nascrap driver whos watching real racing,,, come on give us a break and put the cameras on the race way to many commercials IMO and sucked cause of that.... other than how crappy the coverage was it was a good race... yeah there were like 2 minns left and no interviews Just stupid.... all to get some dumb ass movie on afterwards. i bet if that was nascrap they would have gone over the time to show their crap.....
i was screaming at my tv when nicky was fighting on that last lap and they kept showing the fiat crew and everybody else but the racing. who gives a shit what some nascar guy has to say DURING the RACE!!!!!
And i wish the announcers would learn how to pronounce the riders names, it is embarrassing to hear them butcher a simple name like Elias.
I fucking hate that Speed will even let them have those 2 races to cover, its total bullshit and then all they do is go on and on about the Nicky and Collin. WTF. No wonder the rest of the world thinks we are idiots, because we are represented by idiots on the TV. And calling Valentino "Valley" like hes been friends with the guy his whole life, fucking douchers.
i think we missed at least 10 laps of a 28 lap race....these guys are too used to nascar and having 250 laps to talk crap during....why can't they learn that we don't need on camera pit info about what gear the riders are wearing...i know they are trying to educate people that might never have watched a gp race before...but they can keep the cameras on the race while they talk that way at least you can turn the sound off....they come back from a commercial and they pan the crowd for another minute...very frustrating to watch...
What was up with the hick announcing with the British guy. I guess he is some former champion road racer but jeez that drawl was about as irritating as sand in a bathing suit. And they really must think all Americans can't tell one British announcer from another. That British guy they had was just irritating.

I thought the commentary sucked too, but I guess I'm used to the Euro announcers. And at least when the race is on the Euro's actually cover the actual racing action! I am soooo glad I TiVoed before hand and watched that. I learned from the last time FUX carried a motorcycle race...:headshake
I just watched the race on Eurosport 2, much better, no comercials and the comentators are so much quicker, they are on the action immediately as it happens. They know the racers and they know their audience, which is key. The US coverage just is not up to par. Fox really would have been smart to just use the same world feed and anouncers that Speed normally uses for Moto GP.
Just so everyone knows, Speed TV has noting to do with Moto Gp on a normal basis rather than playing a tape. The feed and anouncers are all done by Moto GP the organization, and sent to Speed, same with WSBK (except the US rounds)
MotoGP.com rocks! I just watched it as I normaly do on Monday nights.
If you really love MotoGP like I do buy it next year, it is well worth it. Everything from miss America singing the national anthem to the after race interviews. Plus live timing on Saturday!
I was waiting for.... while we where on commercial break indianapolis speedway was Home to the closest finish in MOTOGP history today. Lets hear what Dale Earnheart Jr thought of the dazzling spectical of two wheeled motorsport .......(Earnheart) DANG these boys done lean wayover.... (announcer) Well thats all we have time for tonite , I hope you and yours found this program entertaining as we did . goodbye and godbless
Anyone have a link to the Euro version of the race? I guess my DVR knew Fox was going to botch it because it didnt record like it was supposed to.
