For all my cheap moto bros and sises who didn't plunk down the hundred for the package (hi) and/or haven't seen the race yet (hi), I'm hoping someone who watched can give their hopefully spoiler-free opinion on whether it's worth the $7 to buy it on the MXGP site retroactively.
I watched the qualifying race last night, in which Ryan V. got 8th, and I would consider that a pretty uneventful moto, worth maybe 70 cents. If that had been the real moto 1, and moto 2 had been similarly uneventful, then I guess together they'd be worth about a dollar-forty.
As an American with a more general interest in RV-related happenings, two motos just like those detailed above but with RV's and Cairoli's positions swapped would be worth a little more to me, say $2.40, but they'd still be pretty uneventful. Tomac's rides at the last two MXdN's were probably worth $4 a pop, even as single motos.
So, what was Qatar worth?

Someone somewhere has done the homework and picked $7, I'm not sure they are right though. I couldnt care less about qualifying so that is not something that sweetens the deal at all.
What is the magic number for maximum viewers? I say sub $5.
The Shop
If I had the channel I'd definitely watch it a day late. Hell, I'd probably watch it a week late. But no dice amigos.
(And only 2nd motos? Lame.)
Yes, its worth it. Go Canada
I paid the $7 and was happy til the site went down. Then I tried the VIP link and it locked up my Mac with pop up adds. Extremly frustrating and I will not try a free link again. Luckily the paid site came back up and I got to watch. It was worth the money to me. Quality was fine, felt like they gave RV good enough coverage. So again, I will gladly pay $7 every time I can watch the race live while RV has even a slight chance at the championship.
Pit Row
Sounds suspiciously like this turned from quality of the racing to quality of the program. Or maybe it was always that way...
But...thanks anyway, friends. Should just buy the thing, I guess. Probably not worth this b.s., considering you get the MXdN too.
But um...maybe I'll wait a few days...for reasons...
