With all the bashing that goes on in here I just wanted to send a compliment to all involved regarding the coverage. I loved the shots that were going to the go pros on JG and the "pocket rocket" were really cool. Got to watch he first motos on the iPad and both second motos in HD on the tv. Well done guys including broadcasters Weege who is still rooning the sport Smile and GL. Braaaaaaaaaaap.

Decent TV coverage would be a start.
I'm like alot of guys here, I haven't watched the last 4 races on television. Only the streaming online. Its waaayyy better. Don't have Mavtv for 1st moto's anyway, so once I start online, I give my username and password from my cable carrier, and just watch all four moto's.
Its excellent, NO 25 minutes of commercials for me.
TV & moto, just don't mix anymore. Step back, & Put down the remote.

The coverage sucked and was embarrassing to the sport. New viewers would not be attracted and would turn the channel. If you are reading this, nbc insulted your intelligence.

It's a tiny sport. A tiny sport I like. I'm thankful for any coverage because we could easily not get shit.

Actually thinking that coverage is OK is absurd. Way too many commercials and all the wrong times. I thought that explanation of JS situation was a joke also. Waste of more air space. Try explaining to your buddies that aren't that interested in moto how a guy can fail a international drug test and still compete in a national series.

The truth hurts.


There are always two sides, however, there is one side about nbc's coverage that is the vast majority. The majority has spoken and they say that it was terrible. I had a "non-moto" person watching it with me and he said that he could never tell what was going on except for the consistent commercials and their breaks. I felt embarrassed and had to explain it and he said, "Oh, you mean there is a point to MX, I have never seen a broadcast that confuses the viewer more than that one".

Would your buddies even know about it if there weren't any coverage at all?

The coverage is a joke. Literally more commercials than race footage. If there ain't anyone to speak up against it, they will continue to add commercials.

The live GoPro footage was tits. The live GoPro footage alongside regular racing footage of the same rider was double tits (so, four tits).

Excluding the broadcasters from this conversation, who I think are very good, the NBC appropriation of commercial to actual racing was horrible. There is no way compliments should be handed out on that side of the ball. That would be ridiculous.

How can you guys complain about the coverage when every moto is accessible to us? Seriously, I think some of you idiots need to take a step back and think about the complete crap you spew. I had to watch the first motos on my IPad, big deal! The tv crew does an awesome job and I was really impressed with the live gopro shots, we have been wanting that for a while and now we have it, yet you morons are still complaining?

It honestly makes me sick reading some of the crap on here. People behind the scenes are working their asses off to bring you racing, and then you bash them like no tomorrow. Maybe try being happy about something for a change?

It would have been great coverage if I'd have wanted to watch half the race. Yes, my buddies would know JS failed the drug test without TV coverage of the race today because it was all over the news. Didn't you see the news? Newspapers?

Georgias killing it, I think she does a great job despite her sometimes misspeaks...bicycle?...

GL and Weege are doing a great job and today when James crashed in the second moto and Jason and GL simultaneously let out gutteral moans followed by a moment of silence for James' "Man Area", well that was pretty funny...kind of.

Yeah theres a lot of commercials but oh well...

During the first motos, (watched them for the first time), when they would go to a commercial I had to refresh the page... Is that just me? I suck at the internets...
