Bailey and Weege are an unbeatable pairing. Ping is a much better writer than commentator,IMHO.

Bailey... with Ping. We need better announcers though. They all sound pretty flat but then again, how many times can you say "and James pulls away"?

I would actually like Bailey and Steele though. Nothing against weege, he does a good job. You know who else is actually pretty good is Deegan, pretty good at X.

I was surprised with Deegan's announcing. He did good.


Henry was really cool for the Moto X Supermoto races too. I loved how quick he was to call out mistakes almost before they even happened!

Weege is the best of the bunch by a landslide if you ask me. Weege's performance on the pre and post shows where fantastic. As well as his performances on the live link. Keven Kelly humor might be a good match for SX. He can get out of hand or a little over the top, but he is very entertaining. He had me laughing everytime I listened to him on AX. I'd rather have Holley than Bailey. I know, shoot me. Its time to get someone with some excitment. Weege and someone else.

I appreciate that he took the time to learn the sport, but yeah, he sucks. Him and Emig put me to sleep at night thanks to DVR. Sorry guys

Weege is a natural at announcing. At this time Huffman's got him beat, but give it time.

Pair him up with someone that has a true working knowledge of what's happening on the track, and let em' rip. Bailey, Holley, Pastrana, Langston, etc.

Ping's not bad at all, but his sarcasm comes off better in print than it does on audio. Matthes is great in print, and has a great face and voice for print too...

Kelly won't even get an interview.....but he's funny. Just ain't gonna get a foot in the door.

Ping ain't gonna get an interview either.

Denny Stephenson?

Be tough to not go with Weege. He does a great job.

The most impressive thing about Weigandt is how quickly he can switch it up when necessary. He's never at a loss for words (which is not the case with the current duo).


FlickitFlat- I didn't mind Holley, but I think Weege's enthusiasm makes up for Bailey's mellowness.

I used to really dig SX's........ get there early...... watch practice...... watch the heats, then the semi's, then the LCQ's...... a great day of family fun....

now days- i don't think i even care...... 15 minute mains... tracks that even i could ride.... guys pulling over left and right on the track just "hang'n out" during practice because they only really need to put in one good lap for the transponders.... Bubby looks set to go for a nearly perfect season, providing perhaps the most boring season ever as far as "racing" goes... RV is coming up, but most likely, he'll suffer the rookie curse and get hurt..... Reed is mentally pwned by Bubby, always has been, always will be, so i don't expect him to make a "real" run at the title..... K-fade just doesn't care enough to ride hard....

I'll probably watch A1, as a lot of "weird" things have gone down at A1, and it will be "sort-of" cool to see Bubby in blue and Reed on yellow..... but after that, i'm sure me, and a lot of people, just won't give a sh!t enough to tune in to either the webcast or TV....
