The broadcast just can’t help but suck. We have a title battle going on with both riders working through the pack after Davies goes down. A massive battle between teammates and we are watching 10th place, and a blimp shot split screen. For five effing minutes of the moto they were so enamored with the lead gap that they didn’t even mention the championship points chase. 

I can’t help but wonder wtf. Missing the entire premise is just beyond me.

let’s cut away from the Lawrence brother battle for the lead, the championship points lead, for Coenen coming through the pack. It isn’t like these are difficult decisions either. Bondo simply sucks at his job

I liked when the drone crashed into the tree. Too much drone and split screen, as usual. It will never improve with the current people in place. I hate it.

I normally don’t partake in the broadcast bashing much, but it’s deserved today. 
Anyone paying attention to the timing can see when battles are developing, it’s obvious, but seems to be beyond the comprehension of the director for some reason.

I don't know, it's better than having to go to my local motorcycle dealer to get the results on Monday, sometimes Tuesday .

getting a little soft are we? 

Don't know how good we have it until we don't have it.

I get what you’re saying but we all pay our hard earned dollar to watch it live. Heck I’d still go to my dealer for results for free if that were the case but it’s not.

And Weege and JS… they could help the director by telling them that they should focus on a brewing battle on track just like Paul Malin does it.

But Weege just keeps blabbering on what’s in front of him instead of keeping track of the big picture of the race.

Because he knows he’s untouchable so he just mails it in each week. Truly embarrassing but Pulp will just say “eh, it’s not bad, right JT?”

Malin does a great job of directing the cameras when they’re missing the action, but the AMA broadcast crew, Weege and Stew seem oblivious. I don’t get it.

”WAIT A MINUTE!” Insert riders name: HAS ACTUALLY CAUGHT Insert another riders name:

Yeah, we know Weege, we saw the split times for 10 minutes while you and JS missed them while getting payed for doing it…

He Bill, that was 25+ years ago.  The world has advanced with new technology and new ways of thinking/broadcasting. However, Bondo’s production is still as if it’s going to print in Cycle News. Just because we can have it live doesn’t give them a hall pass to just throw shit on the screen. Bondo is terrible at his job.

I bought a big screen for a reason. I have no problem with the broadcasts other than them going to the split screen.

I have zero idea because I refuse to give the Luongo Mafia any money.  But if I had to guess, maybe his broadcast trailer has a window and perhaps it's located where he can see the track.
