Out of all the riders and former riders we've had in the booth over the years the difference between Ricky and the rest is pretty big, in my opinion. Even Kenny when he did the one-off in Florida a few years ago was great. Then of course there's AC who is amazing. Loved Broc.

Of the three so far, I like Broc the most. RC the least.

Preferred Broc for his knowledge and insight but he is quite soft spoken. Maybe my bad hearing is the issue but I feel if he could improve his delivery he has great potential. He is well spoken for sure.

Broc has been the best. Ricky, I’m just burnt out after hearing him all SX long.

RC is the GOAT when it came to racing but as a commentator he is sub par.

Broc has been the most enjoyable thus far in my opinion... and probably the best or most natural commentator of the three others. I'm a huge RJ fan, as well MC. RJ's Whiskey Throttle episode was one of the best, great story teller if you are a fan of his era. But Broc has been the best race commentator, even over Emig.

Langston was entertaining as hell... but there were definitely a few where he maybe over imbibed and it showed. Laughing

Is there a list of who the rotating cohosts are going to be over the rest of the season. Enjoying having a rotating cast of the greats on race day. As another mentioned, Hannah would probably be brutally funny.

If Rodger didn't already have a full time job managing the race teams.. how fun would it be to have The Man in there commentating for a race. I can already hear him in his terminator voice with a dry delivery, "they must do better."

Obviously an unpopular opinion, but I thought Broc was monotone and boring as bat shit.

See that’s the thing, no matter who’s in the box, they’ll never appeal to everybody, especially with an international audience.

Luckily it’s only commentating and no big deal.

RC may have the odd stumble, however I thought he offered some real insight today. But I also think we don’t need never ending commentary threads to say things like that…..

I find RC difficult to listen to. Sorry if I don't fall in line with the "he's a million time champ" ideology. He just keeps on tripping over his own words. These guys still can't seem to actually call the race and instead want to recite the riders bio to us every time they talk about one of them. Flame away.

I had forgotten how bad RC actually is (pardon my opinion) but after hearing people that do not do this on a regular basis, then hearing him, wow. He by far had the most gafs. I'm not saying he's a bad guy, or that he doesn't know what he's talking about. He just does not have a way with words, that guy.
The crazy thing is that he has improved...A LOT.

I just like what they are doing period. I always thought it would be a great idea using guest former or current pro riders. Adds something to the broadcasts I think.
I would like to see people you don't always see, or hear from, lots of former champs that I think I would love to hear their race craft opinions from. Bradshaw, Stanton, Bayle, Barnett, Guy cooper, Chicken, can put a couple of former competitors on one show Ping. Ward. larocco the list is endless
It is the 50th anniversary season, celebrate it
Was interesting to hear RC talk a little about how newer generation "tip toes" around the track. Stanton was a shortest route guy, Would like to listen to guys who talk a little about bike setup, line selections, tires, riding tips. whatever they thought was important. Anyway, hope they keep it up,

Non moto is the place for your generalizing comparison not Moto.

I think RC does a great job. Some of you guys are armchair sportscasters who bitch and moan about practically anything.

Bring back Robbie Floyd. He taught a few. Down vote if you don't know the sport.

Saw him last week at Road America, he is doing the Moto America Road Race series as the venue live announcer.
Great guy.

The main issue with RC is it's an NBC package deal, so you get Will "screech" Christien.

RC is fine. They've all been good so far.

Of course RC is knowledgeable - there’s no disputing that. Not everyone who’s knowledgeable is articulate and RC isn’t especially articulate. Both is, of course, ideal, but if I was to choose one, I’d go for knowledgeable.

He must have said “INSIDE, OUTSIDE” a dozen times yesterday when referring to line choice. Force the issue, must situation… he just needs to chill. He was awesome on Pulp #500, but I think that he gets too nervous in the booth.

"wait for it"
"watch he's gonna get him"
"poetry in motion"
"hitting his marks"
"clicking off laps"
"it's a testament too..."

I'm sure I'm forgetting a dozen more atleast.
