Had to laugh my ass off when he said, with about 2 laps remaining in the second 450 moto...

"For those of you just joining us..."

He seriously said that. 

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Yep, I couldn’t agree more 

I found myself saying to how the hell is this our main announcer.   Just have stew telling us what’s going on 

Exactly, if the sport wants to grow, it needs to present itself in a different way.  The names Lurch and Megawatt feed into all the stereotypes - a combination of Joe Dirt and FMX assholes/bros - people have about dirt bike racing.

Ralph is still the nadir of SX announcing - mostly because of his cheesiness - but Diffey is coming close.  

The Ream Team.

As per usual with the broadcast they overdid their 'storylines' massively.  They must have mentioned the money hundreds of times, plus the stupid 'world championship' bollocks.   It was great racing tonight but give the public a break, this is not a proper world championship.  You can slam the FIM all you want but it least they have some history in motorsports so when they sanction something it tends to mean more.  SMX is not a world championship, it's three races tacked onto the end of two real championships.  At least the Monster Cup didn't claim to be a world championship.  Back to the TV production team, either they're morons, or they think fans of the sports are morons, because the shit they serves up is an insult to us, or to any fan of motorsports. We had to put up with that turd Ralph for over a decade, and now we've been landed with Leigh Diffey - who may be even worse than Ralph (at least Ralph's fuckups were entertaining).  Will Christian is unbearable, I've had to resort to muting whenever she's rattling on.

Can my American moto brothers please tell me - is this level of shit found in other sports production and commentary in the US?  I've never come across anything comparable to this in any of the other sports I watch in Australia.  The only American based sport I watch - besides moto - is UFC and it's head and shoulders above the shite moto fans are forced to endure on a weekly basis. 

I was disappointed when Leigh started talking about colt Nichols being a former factory Honda rider. But never mentioned the team he’s riding for now

I didn’t mind him, but RC has got to go. Love RC as a rider but I just can’t listen to him anymore in the broadcast booth. James, JT, and Weege are awesome.

I just wish the commentated on the racing, as it’s happening and not talking about racing or the money, or riders storyline’s. Talk about what they are doing, lap times, who is closing the gap on who, battles, lines, not just “he’s going inside outside”. So many times you see someone do something different and it doesn’t even get mentioned. 
 

They never comment on the present moment, unless it’s a pass. And it’s usually a reactive interruption over someone rambling on about the riders. 

lee > ralph.

my favorite of the weekend is with like 2 laps to go they Diffey starts to say Joe is going to catch them.  Come on they held the gap for the entire moto, he makes up like .2 sec and Diffey starts wanking.
