I can't believe they wasted so much coverage of the race on Alessi! Tedesco had the best race of his career and they were showing Alessi ride around in last and even worse was that they were missing the race, to show him inside his rig! Never has so much TV time been wasted on someone being hurt! That doesn't look good for the sport, in a parents eye watching it.

Evidently you didn't watch the round where Villi was hurt because they also did a inside interview with him while the moto was going on. It's all part of covering every aspect of the race for those who are not in the know so to speak.

They could have put the interviews into a smaller area while showing the race in the background.

Why don't they show us what's going on in J-law's rig during the motos then? That would be dramatic I'd bet.

I remember that, for some reason, it didn't have that "young and the restless" quality to it.

Just my opinion.

Shut up. The story was Alessi coming back only a few weeks after hurting himself. Now Tedesco finally winning after all this time because he needs a job next year.

BP, If they showed Jbong doing his thing in his rig it may create a black cloud. LMFAO

Agreed. "Shut up" what are you in kindergarten? Ever notice how some screen names seem to suit the poster to a tee?

First there wasn't exactly any battles at the front they missed while showing the story of Allessi's crash. Besides that was all part of the "online" coverage... no?

Second I thought the insights into the training and heart rate levels of the riders did quite a bit to help inform the average viewer who might not be familiar with how strenuous the sport is at the elite level.

Overall I came away impressed by the coverage. MX sports is doing some pretty great things this season that should only help the outdoors grow and become far more relevant to the outside sponsors and manufacturers.

Good job guys!

x2. I liked the HR segment and knew immediately that there would be some of us douchers complaining about it. I wish they would tell us more than they did. People who don't know how to use a HRM think it's lame but those of us who do know how helpful they are in training and racing.

Not everyone is gonna be satisfied every week...

Just think of the days we waited like 6 months for WWoS; and we get live feed and TV moto today....

Give DC feedback if any particular coverage is so horrible; sure he'd appreciate the feedback.

We heard that HR shit all SX season, I'm tired of it , Dude went from a pot head to a medical expert. My friend used to come to the track with all that heart rate shit hooked up like he was a #1 contender, we laughed his ass right of the track, Jeff acts like we didn't hear him the first time or the second, or the third, or....

It's a noob-fest in here. I can't believe you morons.

The HR stuff is designed to rope in the sports fan who doesn't know much about the sport to appreciate the athleticsm involved. That means more viewers. That means more $$$ find their way back to the riders.

All of you bitchin about it are the same people that complain that all your golfin and fishin buddies, not to mention all the talking heads at ESPN, think the motorcycle does all the work and riding a moto is as strenuous as riding a lawnmower. This type of information helps change those attitudes so that *your* sport might start getting the respect that you think it deserves.

But of course, you'd rather have something to bitch about.
