Out with the flu.. Was sick all week and even went into the hospital after he rode press day.

Yep,the money that funds the sport at the highest levels just grows on trees. It's not like there is a money trail that leads back to the fans that follow it religiously or anything like that. It's not like these fans fund the series with ticket purchases

My Guess is they sold MXSports on both motos live online on Ali in their contract. They then used the second motos as a marketing ploy & to reward those already using providers that they had some sorts deals with (NBC Sports). Basically pulled a ... more »

It's business and you can bet they arent losing any money.

But they do spend big money to get the best package they can afford within the budget they set aside for TV/Online Media. But what it sounds like happened to me in regards to the online ... more »

Yeah the first motos worked fine. But then the second motos were limited to certain providers...Even people with providers that have NBC Sports and pay for NBC Sports could not access it. Unless NBC has some sorta deal with certain providers to try to ... more »

I also pay for NBC Sports and my provider wasn't on the list either for the second motos. I even have residential line & biz line into this house.

I'm not getting a third line. lol

Paying for one direct webcast would definitely simplify things wouldn't it,guys? But I would assume they already have contracts with NBC/Alli that something like that could mess it up legally. Kinda screwy if you ask me.

See if any of your neighbors wifi is open that uses one of the providers.

Definitely a great way to start the season for Roczen. Carrying over that confidence from SX.

Kenny into the lead.

You should break out that war face avatar I made for times like this!

Dam Mookie out. Seems like with a start he is a solid top 10 guy in the class though. Good gauge.

Now he got Deano! Outstanding!

Hahaha he just got by Short! That is awesome!
