Way to much complaining, just enjoy the show. I think they both do a fine job.
Or when nothing was said when Vialle lost the lead after hole shotting his first SX race?
Great post. I would love to see some of RC's critics in the booth showing us all how to do it. RC is improving all the time and with his credentials, I think we're lucky to have him involved in the sport in any capacity.
That’s a feature not a bug. I love it.

No, I couldn’t stand Joey Gladstone, Jeff was cool though
he shows up and immediately puts down his "old" customers again. Atta boy. Some things never change.
Seems to me that "clicks" pay the bills around here
You can’t turn an eye on roczen. Ricky is so stupid
Moto fans are hardcore, and demand %110, including broadcasters. When its done right, its moto utopia.
Rc is so awful in the booth hes gonna ruin his legacy as a racer .
I think his speaking has actually gotten worse. You could literally take a audio track from any of his called races and dub it over a different race and you wouldn’t know the difference. He says the same 10 things over and over.
id rather have someone good at speaking and formulating intelligent analysis then have someone gifted the job because of their success in the sport.
Agreed. I think Daniel recognized it tonight and was trying to analyze the race because RC was lost. During the "re rack" of the race when the gat malfunctioned he started a sentence and then just lost it and there was like 10 seconds of silence. He offered nothing of value tonight and how Peacock doesn't see it is beyond me.
I want Ralph & Emig back..
Monster shouldn’t be making these decisions.
It’s really shocking just how bad they are at providing analysis of lap times, gaps closing, and projecting what may happen based on the times being set.
just finished watching the F1 race and its unbelievable how much better than broadcast team is at this aspect.
There’s too much happening in racing for your announcers to be lost and adding so little value to the viewer.
Yeah but aren’t you worried about their home life during the race?
RC nailed the commentator's curse by saying how much he was looking forward to AP's podium speech with still 2 laps to go.
To use a RC quote "I hate to see that"
I remember a few years ago when they let Ralph go I got flamed pretty bad for saying he was great and I’ll miss him. He brought true, genuine, excitement to the booth, and Emig was great at analyzing stuff and correcting Ralph when needed. Ralph was also clearly an expert at not allowing dead air and keeping the flow going. Furthermore, he was perfect for growing the sport, you know, the thing many here always say. Did it get annoying for us to hear him say, “Eli Tomac on the green number 3 Kawasaki” all the time. Yes. But he’s not saying that for people here on this forum. Many failed to realize that. Just go watch any good race he called. He brought the battles to life in ways we have not seen since. I can’t speak for anyone pre 95, as I was too young to really remember, but he and Art Eckman are the two GOATs for the play by play guys in my eyes. Nobody else comes close.
I do this aswell but RC stutters and stumbles so much its a distraction when you find yourself correcting his vocabulary 🤣
Pit Row
You must not have watched a MXGP race yet? Mailan by himself is the best in the game and it’s not even close!!
I get annoyed easily in my old age. Im so sick of hearing "monster energy star racing yamaha" and anytime i hear monster energy i cringe.
Monster Energy Supercross is brought to you by Monster Energy.
Blair sucks. He was better on the sidelines.
For me it's not even the commentators, it's the entire approach to production. From the start of a heat race, for example, they just immediately deliver canned stories for several laps. Dish to Will, dish to JT, tell a story, show some highlights, show an interview in PIP.
About 40% of the whole broadcast is actual racing. Call. The. Race. Then cover the human interest pieces in the dead time.
And yeah, at this point RC sounds totally restricted and can only draw from a list of about 10 things to see each night.
I assume it's all to appeal to the casual fan, but I disagree with that approach and also with it even working.
RC sounds that way because he is severely awful at his job. The others don't sound that way and I believe he just can't think fast enough to come up with sound analysis and the result is stumbling over words and sentences not completed. If you listen to him on podcasts or other interviews talking about his own career he is awesome and can share all the details. His memory is remarkable considering the amount of racing he did......which highlights even more he is improperly placed. It's not a dig on Carmichael, he is just not good at this.
The title of this thread is why I hate this board.
Ricky does it again! Talking about Tomac and Webb, they are marrying each other. How about Mirroring each other. He has got to go.
Am o the only one wondering what’s up with Blairs hair?
Ricky got all excited, started analyzing and
minutes later Blair did the same. Straight chopped the throttle!
Way too much bitching about All the announcers from this Board. RC and Blair are doing a good job. Enjoy the show and quit yer bitchin.
