CDC says it will likely meet the criteria of a Pandemic. Not to the point yet I would not go, but the potential to get there exists. From CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/summary.html “Risk Assessment Outbreaks of novel virus infections ... more »

And we really care about this because...? If we simply knew which gate, a quick review of the event would reveal it quickly. That is if we actually cared.

Yes, I’m trying avoid fantasy rage!

Odd that Ronnie Stewart is not listed on the start sheet yet many are certain he is in. How certain he lines up?

Covering the entire race doesn’t seem to be a priority.

I don’t entirely disagree with that. It needs to be a coordinated effort, but there are times the announcers can point something out or jump to a big moment and the producers can catch up. But during the race they can quickly toss in comments about riders ... more »

For the 1000th time the announcers are clueless because they stare at a monitor instead of looking out the window... That method sucks, period.

I’m a fan, keep it up! If you have any unique technical insights on the bikes, that could be interesting. On a related note; do any factory bikes run a quickshifter? After years of racing motocross I picked up a Yamaha R6 for track days and installed ... more »

In “covering” the Oakland race, 6 of 22 riders were mentioned, zero sponsors of riders were mentioned from gate drop to checkered. I might have missed one, but the point is sponsors are getting nothing from the TV coverage. They did mention KTM Spidercam. ... more »

No, the gate drop is the start of story time. I was curious what happened to Mcadoo, certainly no mention from the coverage. They simply do not cover the race, period.

I wish they’d save story time for between races and actually cover the race.

Looks great! Well done.

I don’t know the number of entries, but I am the master of picking the guy who gets 22nd! Defies all odds...

You’d think announcers would cover something like that.

I’m in the XR-75 club too. Started in ‘76 at 9 years old on one. Moved to an RM-80 in ‘78. As for 125s, not that many, but they are far and away my favorite bikes. 1980 RM-125 1981 RM-125 1983 CR-125 2006 RM-125 - me in ‘81 at 15 years old

That didn’t take long. I prefer Leigh, but don’t really mind Ralph. I just hate the way the focus only on the monitor and turn the race into story time instead of covering the race, the whole race.

It did not show up on the ‘Live’ tab, but I found a link in the ‘Featured’ section

I’m just excited for a race where Craig is behind Ferrandis towards the end of a race. All the elements of a good drama.

How many 450s do you see with new pipes, and riders who almost never hit the peak of power? I’d say that a good feel of the handlebars could be more important. Obviously assumes these new Renthals actually feel better.
