Still getting through it all, was out gardening this afternoon for a bit.

One thing I did think was a massive improvement was Ricky actually works and has good insight when he is on the floor... in the booth his comments just seemed general and the jabbing with Fro didn't add anything I think... Down there he actually contributed really well. I like it!

Decent all around. Having RC trackside was great, Ralph was Ralph, Emig seemed a little rusty at times, Jenny seemed like she hasn't missed a beat, and the video was not always showing the best action on the track...but they still had some excellent angles and awesome shots. Anyway, that was my take.

Thought it was great. RC was much better in that role than he is in the box. Jenny Taft is pretty good too

I thought it was really good. I have always been a fan of Ricky but agree his role last night was really well done he's really confident and adds a real professional view. People give Ralph a lot of crap but his job really isn't to know everything about the sport it's to stir up the conversation between emig and Ricky and get the fans excited and he's for the fans who aren't vitalmx experts haha. I think if he wasn't there it would be worse. Jenny Taft was great and I think fox has done a good job of making the reporting more like nascar which is really professional. The interviews from the race floor were really good.

Some of the camera angles suck and the camera men are way out of position.
Also need to filter through the top 8-10 more.

Too much showing the leader by himself as the crowd goes wild over the race on the track behind him. This has been a problem forever.

Other than that, nicely produced in my opinion.

Having stories/interviews to fill time during breaks in the action was an improvement over last season.

I'm sure the producer doesn't get a sound feed from the crowd - they're always so slow to go back to any action crosses when we hear noise...

i live in europe, what is the best way to view the races? i have apple tv 4th generation, is there an an app?
is there really not an option to pay like with mxgp and just be able to view 100% action without the distractions ?

I thought it was awesome! And yes that is RC's best spot for sure. Felt like I was hanging out with a rider at the track and getting told stuff I cared about

Yes, this is what I want to know; did he have an MX crash or something? Looked bruised, puffy eyes...
