It’s the broadcast and camera angles. When they spend 90%of the turn following one rider, even when there is no one near them it gets boring. Get some cameras at track level, raw video with sound of the bikes and follow some battles going on in the pack, even if it’s not with “name” riders and the broadcast would draw you in to the race.

100%. They need 2-3 gritty/raw camera angles to mix in. They need the existing angles to follow the race but it definitely takes the sense of intensity and speed out of it.

Moto guy since 1980.  200+ gates drops.  Never bored at a race.  Even local race.  Fast forwarded the replay yesterday

Not trying to derail this thread but I'm curious. Why would folk from Colorado treat a Texan/s like shit?

All of you are Americans right?

Probably still pissed because about 30 years ago on a ski trip to Summit county, I wore a shirt I had made that said: "Colorado... Texas' Backyard Playground".  🤣
