Seriously what’s with the guy? Is he not watching the monitor or just trying to create false hype? Tomac stalled the bike!!! Oh wait he was stuck on a tough block. Well let’s hope his bike holds up. OH TOMAC IS HAVING BIKE PROBLEMS!!! As he clearly is fucking with his goggles multiple times. Then mentions the bike not holding together again. What is with that guy?

Not sure but he needs to chill on saying the bikes are having problems. Thats a good way to kill a brand reputation even tho its false information. Thats what? Two weekends in a row now?

Get off Ralph’s nuts man, ffs. The man’s job is to commentate a LIVE race. The conditions and mud covering everything tonight didn’t make it any easier either

Last lap Tomac has a 12-15 second lead and he gets excited that it got cut down by 3 seconds.

Langston is an Analyst (Ricky’s position).
Weigant would be good, I don’t know why they didn’t give him the position.
Then interchange the analysts week to week. Langston, Daniel Blair, Jason Thomas, Steve Mathes.
Change things up a bit and keep it interesting.
At the end of the day it doesn’t matter because all us die hard fans will watch regardless... would be nice to have a better product is all.

Hyping up Ferrandis with his "Euro advantage" saying he just needs a lap or two to close in on Cianciarulo, while getting passed by Marchbanks was a funny one.

Have you guys ever thought that part of his job is to try and add excitement to a very boring event. I’m happy this sport continues through these conditions (they should), but I wouldn’t want to see many events contested in these conditions. By far the most boring race so far this year. Besides, we don’t get to choose the commentators. Give Ralph a break/brake. ?
Honda Rules!

Why didn't they mention anything about how good Europeans are riding in the mud, or how good plessinger is in the slop. I thought they would of brought it up at least 3 times.

What's the difference if he calls something wrong? He's juggling 22 guys in crazy conditions.

My favorite part was when he said you can tell thats cooper webb by the red number plates as they showed a dude (cooper) on a bike completely covered in mud with no visible plates.

Ralph could seriously improve his commentating if he quit hypothesizing about what might happen. Any sentence that he starts with "Will this...." should be eliminated. Report on and tell the viewers what is going on during the race.

For just one round put Pat McAfee and Grant Langston in the booth. 1 round. A guy who has no clue about the sport and parties, and a guy who knows everything about the sport and parties. Hey NBC I’ll pay ya an extra $10 for that race to be able to hear other people talk. I’ve bit my lip long enough but last night was terrible to listen to.

You guys are way too hard on Ralph. Without his insightful comments, we wouldn’t have known that Plessinger was in 7th place, the same number that’s on his number plate.
