“I don’t like some of the commentators because they’re not American”

Just putting that out there to eliminate the need for half of the thinly veiled comments.

Love it! Let me try...

"RDL is shit! They didn't show MY GUY!"

"So-n-So is THE WORST! She/He doesn't know anything!"

"They should bring the other person back!"

Meanwhile, one of the current crew actually raced the RCSX last week...and I think that's damn cool.

If I pay for premium Peacock channel, do I get to avoid commercials?

I don't get a personal camera I can control from home?

What a rip off!

The amount of bitching over 6 hours of live coverage every weekend is incredible.

What the fuck?

The race cutoff for me. I was watching the 450 main and now the replay won't even show it.

Serious ...
the commentary should be a separate subscription.
you'd have to pay EXTRA to hear them.
The yelling lady reporting rants? that's another EXTRA package. Deluxe Premium Reporting option. Costs more cuz it's imported.

Basic package has just live feed with ambient sounds, stadium, bikes, crowd...

I think the fans are core enough to know what's going on. And we tweet/ check forums to know what is really going on anyway. Right?

It would be interesting to see how many would subscribe to the audio commentary package then.

Gypsy has done his race commentaries. Good idea but mehh. He tried. Fuck mate, fuck, fucking fuck, Jiu Jitsu, Fuck man, Ego, fuck. No hate, he's cool, he's fucking cool, nice fucking dude just too much fucking cussing. But great idea.

I would love to have choice. Have Ralph only audio, or Daniel Blair, Weege... as separate live audio commentary.
Maybe with AI we could have software mimicking Larry Huffman too...

Just thinking out loud serious thoughts. At times the commentary is so bad it takes away from enjoying the race.
Too many times talking about stuff not on the screen. it's unnecessary and inappropriate.
When I watch a sport I am not familiar with, the COMMENTARY tries to explain to me what I am seeing.

But if it's too hard and they don't have enough cameras and people, it's too fast and more reasons why...
Charge extra subscription for the commentary then. See what we the viewers would do.
Then you would have proof of what true value the commentary is to the viewers.

I like watching the races. If I could choose to pay extra 5 dollars to have Weege and/or DB commentating the entire race, I'm down. And with friends and drinks, for some fun times, sprinkle a bit of Ralph. With my bros at the shop let's have our man Steve tell it like it is. And Phenomenal, Articulate and sharp insight Daniel Blair is a great choice.

All Feld has to do it let the position grid on, AMA cooperating, and have a live clock timer at all times so all audio commentaries can be synched.
Have the commentators pay a royalty or what not, have the viewers sign waivers than they won't sue Feld if Weege ruins the Sport, Matthes spills some secrets or drop some inaccuracy pies to the masses .

A few races back we were with Ricky Johnson watching the race on a big screen inside Carson City Motosport ( NV )
We chat during the race just like we do on vital forums. New bikes, tacos, good talk. Good times. Audio commentary was inaudible from the race. As we walk to grab drinks and tacos people would tell you what is happening. The ambient chatter of knowledgeable fans beats the NBC bullshit. It was enjoyable. I'd pay to have this at home instead of this current yelling mess.

They need to just have the dude announcing in the stadium do the TV side of it.

You can hear him sometimes on the broadcast and he's always high energy.

Dude seriously. What the fuck. Put Blair in the booth asap. Ricky is doing great. This is damn amateur hour. I know it’s a hard ass job and I’d be terrible at it but that’s also not my career path. HOW DO YOU REPEATEDLY CALL A TOP FACTORY RIDER JUSTIN! If I was Ricky I would’ve started saying Jason hoping he’d catch on

He also claimed Jett the winner before the race even started. Saying “let’s see how top qualifying spot translates to victory”

To be fair, the production team shouldn’t be switching announcers each week anyway..
It seems they all have their positives and negatives, Ricky has improved sooo much.. But overall I’m not stoked on any of them to be honest..

Op most of the posts in the Moto section are retarded, good bench racing my arse. The broadcast sucks. Commentators that don't even commentate on the race. Todd can't even call the right names and it takes Ricky two breaths and a full rhythm section to say a team name. Hire some motorsport commentators. Is it an American thing telling stories whilst the race is on and not call any on track action. Nobody commentates who the racers are at the start of a race until turn 2 or until the timing tree comes on screen. Cutting to commercial break before we see the battle for 9th in the heat races is fucking stupid. Race day live, the presenters think the show is about them and think we have tuned in to watch them, we tune in to watch qualifying you dumb fucks. I want to watch qualifying, bikes on track. I can hear the bikes on track but I have to listen to some nobody talk what he thinks about the race. It's seems when the race is on we don't watch anyone further down then 5th place, watching a guy ride around on his own when I can see 3 guys together in the timing tree fight for position. Compared to the top levels of Motorsport what we have to put up with is a joke.

Oh and fuck off with a full screen replays and interviews mid race, the longest race is 20 minutes long for fuck sake keep your stories to yourself and call what's happening on track

Show the track layout and on board at the start of the broadcast and not after 4 races

I would pay extra for a feed with no commentating or pit reporting or commercials. Literally just stick a camera pointing at the crowd, then 10 seconds before any race go to the gate and keep the FULL list of 22 up the whole time as the cameras follow the action. All the extra info I get from vital anyway. 100$ a season? I’d be in.

I watched it with weird techno music louder than the commentary and a guy in a corner screen that scared the shit out of me when he finally spoke.
