The shitshow of streaming nationals continues. There will be advertising in the middle of the motos (i asked twice) and they will "do the best to put them at a good time".

Spoilers in the app, advertising in the middle of motos, motos that does not work in the app but only web. Can't see everything live, since first race is delayed and have to wait for it all to be made available next day.

Who wrote the credit thread to DC, voice of the drunken people?

WTF? First time in 9 years, i did not finish watching the motos.

Thank God MXGP is back next weekend.

what happens if we see a commercial?

We will be headed for a disaster of biblical proportions, Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff! Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes…The dead rising from the grave…Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA!

It's a paid service. If they want to squeeze in advertising in the 4h show outside racing, be my guest. But leave the fucking racing alone. Nothing makes you lose interest more than some random shit braking up a short 35min session.

Is it the end of the world? No. Where we promised ad-free racing? YES.

Again, there are others out there making it work. Just shows how small the nationals seems to be compared to MXGP and some other local series.

Bullshit - this whole thing needs someone like Red Bull to come in and start its own series

DH racing on Red Bull TV is done right

- Too many goddamn SX & MX rounds wearing the guys out
- No simple EASY way for people GLOBALLY to watch the sport (and see all the sponsors from Fox to Honda)
- Talented top 20 guys not making enough for making mains / motos

Desperate need of a overhaul

It sucks to go backwards when we have had commercial-free racing for 10+ years. Also when every other racing series I watch is also commercial-free during races it is a major bummer.

All so I can see that Red Bud MXoN commercial twice in a row..

It's really bad that they don't pause the race replays, so you hear the racing in the background but can't see it. If you're going to force commercials on a replay, pause the race so we can see the whole thing!

I honestly can’t believe some folks on here are fine with paying to see advertising. Not that I’m subscribed to flo.

I’d rather watch then not. Moto 1 from this weekend is a disaster commercial wise but the rest only have 2 minutes of commercial. Yea I would prefer none but that’s not an option right now.

It’ll never be an option if you accept it, idk I’ve been following moto 25 years and this maybe the straw that breaks this camels back. I’m even still subscribed to the mag and there’s nothing in there except adds and I’m fine with that cause moto ads are cool, but if I’m gonna sit down during the day on a weekend to watch a race that’s all I want to see is the race.

I’d like to add even though no one asked, that I’m not one of these guys that cancel a sub as soon as the seasons over, I’ve had peacock ever since they started showing the races, I would have subbed to Mav all year too. It’s the principle.

Flo sho....

I've taken my Saturdays back and quite prefer grilling out with friends and family instead of swearing at a paid service that's done little more than over promise and under deliver. I've no trouble finding a replay within hours and can fast forward through commercials whilst enjoying my night cap for free dollars.

I’m not gonna go fire and brimstone cause there is 2 minutes of commercials this year. Did the coverage suck to start the year? Yes. But it’s gotten better, and from the sounds of it we are lucky to be able to watch them live at all this year, so unlike most on here I will be understanding of the current situation Deal with it this year and expect better next year.

What happened to just watching it on TV? I honestly don't get all the bitching. I have Mav TV and NBC. The race is set to record and I watch it, fast forward through the commercials, no issues whatsoever.

I don’t understand why you guys get so butt hurt over ads happening during motos. Watch any other sport out there that has any popularity and there are ads during the action.

Get over it. If it keeps camera crews paid so we can watch I am all for it.

Because this is the first year we’ve had it happen on the paid stream. Are you saying the camera crew has been working for free for the past 10 years?

LOL ok OP wants $7.99 a month ad free motos with 4 live hour coverage? And gonna forum bitch on the keyboard and send e-mails?

Remember when we waited a month for race results and video clips on MotoWorld?

Moto used to be for tough guys and gals. Flo must be thinking MX is a group of privileged tinker bells with nothing better to do than complain upfront.

Flo should offer a one camera option for broke folks at $7.99/ month.
10 cameras with drones, commentators, and ads, for full coverage $30/ month.

DC explained it all. Let's do better for our sport as fans and supporters...

The YouTube and Facebook feed they are referring to is the MAVTV Plus stream.

MAVTV Plus is supposed to be commercial free. We've had a couple of rounds commercial free, but Southwick had commercials during the motos.

I've not seen that but I'm pretty sure that the original press release was very noncommittal...I will admit the Peacock coverage was horrible because of the commercials...I didn't have a problem with the FLO coverage....at least not enough to start another thread complaining about TV coverage...

Another one with a "back in my day..." response.

Just because things were done a certain way 30+ years ago it doesn't mean things shouldn't evolve. We live in a digital age where everyone has access to information at the touch of a button.

People expect to receive their information as soon as it's published.

MAVTV said that it was going to be ad free. People paid for that service and that's not what they are receiving. The service has been subpar. On top of paying for it, they turn around and start broadcasting it for free because they couldn't handle the traffic.

Yes I remember having to wait a week for Cycle News results. Yes I remember having to set my VCR to record and pray it worked.
I also remember NBC Gold and other PAID streams being commercial free.
It's ok to be thankful we have live streaming, AND be pissed a stream we are paying for has commercials.
It's ok to say it's better now that it was at the beginning of the season, AND say it's still not good enough since we are paying to see the races.
This whole "one extreme or the other" is a tired and never-ending circle of BS.
