Watch the top 9 qualifiers in each heat race
top 4 in the LCQ
and just maybe watch all battles to the finish in each main.

Don’t need to watch the winners ride around, see them in the interviews.

Agreed. Show the battles. No need to see the winner ride in a circle to the podium

Huge heated battle going on in the 250 LCQ...but yea let's show Meshy cruising around in 3rd place while guys are killing each other for a transfer spot. This year has been by far the worse in showing good battles.

My Peacock beef is that when I log onto the main page, it never has the latest race up. So I click on "sports" and start looking through to find it, and I see the highlight reel posted, with the title telling me who won the race (before I have been able to watch it).

Have you tried adding it to your Watchlist? I haven’t missed a live race, so no idea if it’ll work once the race is completed. I added it to my watchlist and when I get on the app 5min before the show starts, it’s right there front and center.

The problem is the production. It has been this way for years and is not getting better. It seems to be a typical old boy network and they will not respond to criticism or change.

For some reason they like to tell stories. They get going on some two minute storyline and maybe worst of all throw it to the sideline reporter - 'last week I talked to Marvin's truck driver and he said he needed to go faster ....'

Please just call the race.

Recently Carmichael was on one of Matthes's Re-Raceables podcasts, He talked in detail about how he set his bike up compared to JS7, rebound damping, forks, etc. And why this explained why JS7 was faster in whoops but RC4 could blitz the turns. THIS is what we would like to hear. 95% of Peacock viewers are serious fans who understand bikes/racing, how about catering to us once in a while?

I agree with what you are saying. Our son had a friend over plus both of their girlfriends watching the races along with me and my wife. In between the 2 mains, I asked the ladies what they thought, just to get an outsider's perspective. The general response was "seems pretty cool". We were trying to explain the format, some of the riders, etc. Bottom line is, no amount of "Drama" or fabricated storyline is going to draw them in. They are there to hang with their lesser halves and are going along for the heck of it. They did say it is entertaining to watch. But drama or no drama, neither made a difference to casual observers.

We really need to get as many hard core racing fans to watch, people from the NASCAR and sprint car racing series to watch. Need more race fans in general. JMHO.

I know not everyone is a fan of ole Gypsy dude but my son tossed me a quote the other day and it was spot on. He said either Gypsy dude or one of his guests pointed out, "there is no such thing as a casual Supercross fan." He's right. People don't just happen across SX on TV and decide to watch. No one at a SX even needs to be told how tear-offs work or why the winner isn't number 1. We don't need to be told how many laps are left or even how anyone qualified. We can tell by the order their names are listed in the starting grid graphics for heats.

They are still trying to appeal to the masses while the masses are doing what the masses do, not watch Supercross. Meanwhile, folks like us are over here screaming at the TV, "WEBB IS CLOSING THE GAP ON ROCZEN! HE'S CUT THE GAP FROM 1.127 SECONDS TO 0.792 IN A LAP! QUIT SHOWING US TOMAC IN 7TH PLACE MAKING A PASS ON FREISE!!!!!" Crap, they missed the pass. Maybe they'll show it to us in a replay.
