Coverage seemed much better this weekend. Showed us battles, not get someone rolling around 5 sec from any other rider.

I bitched a ton last week and I agree that today has been really good. Whether by design or luck it's been great 👍

I thought the production was great today. Followed leaders and picked up battles in the back. Returned to leaders when it counted, like crossing the finish line.

Overall good job 👏

Yep was able to watch the racing instead of the timing board this week and a lot more Picture in Picture. A step forward and hopefully continues in this direction.

I thought it was better today too. The bumpers in and out of commercials got worse when it was also being broadcast on the main NBC channel, but they did a better job by far during the MAV portion.

Weege presented the vital forum to the production team and all areas were addressed. Great job!

Really good coverage as well as in the booth. Langston is great. He sees the little things and is spot on with anticipating the action. Weege is like having your best friend in the booth. He is a pro but he needs to simmer down just a bit.

I have been moaning about staying with a rider too long unless its a battle etc. great job today. Keep that shot flowing it adds sooo much to the broadcast. Weege and gl on point again. I love when gl rides the bike with his comments. Details win👍

We don’t think it’s absolutely ridiculous to cut to the first turn crash in 450 moto 1 on the very first lap of moto 2? Then when they come back they show random 3 digit guy(who is awesome btw) on the ground, then back to roczen all alone out front. In the background in the sand whoops on lap 2 you see Eli and others coming through 3 wide and we follow roczen alone some more. Watching the GPs really puts in perspective how shitty our coverage is. Maybe instead of RD giving us obvious and bland observations he can replace the spotter who clearly has no fucking idea what he’s doing or looking at.

Not perfect, but definitely an improvement over past races. A lof of that has to do with the layout of the track and camera vantage points. For example, take Southwick. The only viewing worse than the TV coverage is being there.

Why were we all looking at a banner in RJ’s wheels being prodded by a bunch of old fucks in New Balances while the beginning of the race is underway.

He just doesn’t get it. Not at all.

It was better. There's still a lot they can improve on though with the cutting away to show us stuff that we don't need to see while the racing is going on and guy's are right on top of each other about to battle and pass. Hopefully they have their shit together for Washougal since it's one of my favorites.

Yeah, i like the ”regular” Weege that we hear on Pulp and his own pod’s. The TV Weege is a bit to much for me..
