What.... you mean like create a pay per view live web stream available to EVERYONE around the world?

Yeah that would be an awesome idea.

(good work DC, hope we get something here in the uk too! I cant wait for the gate to drop!)

Second motos aren't live in the US either and last year the guys in Europe had second motos live too so being next door doesn't help lol (I kid... I kid). Hope the guys in Europe have JustinTV accounts to stream second motos live.

Very cool news though...

No Fuel TV here, or NBC Sports channel.

So we can't see shit.

(There is a ray of hope though on the Justin/Europe angle - pretty mickey mouse way to try to get to see the greatest show on earth though....)

I hope some here in Europe can receive Fuel TV.
Here were I am (in Germany), there is no chance of receiving this channel! What a bummer!

Why is it impossible to have a pay per view webstream for all the fans around the world???

No....GP's live on TV for less than the $95 I have to pay to watch on my computer (which Allisports does for free)!
I love watching the GP's it's just that DC and MXSports are willing to pay to have it live for most of Europe and Luongo went with some obscure cable channel that nobody gets because he was unwilling to invest in the US market.
Kudos to DC for caring about the overseas markets and Luongo is......well Luongo....

I think you'll find Fuel TV is also an obscure cable channel. Not that Im knocking DC for it, any coverage is good thing and Im sure its quite difficult to negotiate.

Im only able watch GP's on television over here because I pay a monthly subscription (of about $50) for Satellite TV. You have to pay for Sky to be able to watch MotorsTV, and this is only available with certain packages or as an add-on. So whether I watch the GP's on TV or the internet, Im paying to watch either way.

I still think the mx-life cost is pittance when compared to any other pay per view sporting event and as a Moto fan I don't know what more you could want?

My point is not the costs, I have paid for the GP's and watch them, My point is that DC and MXsports care and do everything they can so others around the world can watch and have both motos live!...the US doesn't even have that. Luongo and YS could care less about a TV package in the US and in no way would they pay to have it on TV here and that is exactly what DC has done! It remains to be seen how obscure Fuel is in Europe it at least sounds that way in the UK but DC is trying to work something out for the UK also....how hard is Luongo working on a TV deal in the US??
DC cares about the future of the sport globally and it's pretty apparent what Luongo cares about $$$$$

Moto Magazine tweeted this

From DC "Sorry for the last-minute news but MX Sports and Alli Sports just completed a deal to host the second motos from both classes...."


Sounds good, hopefully this is correct! Not seen it on Racerx website yet?

Maybe DC should create a PPV similar to Youthstream's MX-Life? This has been said by fans across the world for some time, yet it still hasn't materialised - what were you saying about 'caring' because I know many, including myself would pay for this service!

Great job. Now how about doing something for the people that live on the east coast that get to enjoy racing at 11:30pm every night?

DVR homey. I can't make it to midnight, but you better believe I'll cue up those second motos as soon as my eyes open tomorrow!

Coverage is light years ahead of where it was just a few years ago. No complaints here. Thanx for all you're doing DC.

You're kind of contradicting yourself. If DC struggles to secure decent coverage of the Nationals in the America, how do you expect Luongo to be able to?

Youthstream set Mx-life.tv up to cater for everyone, including Americans, who are unable to watch the GPs on TV. While people feel they should offer this service free of charge is beyond me, we live in a lagely Capitalist world (especially the US & Europe) where basically everything comes at a price. It may not be ideal, but its life.

The important fact is that the option to watch all 64 GP Motos (plus support races) live on the internet exists.

I dont expect anything for free... I would happily pay per view each round or buy a package to watch the whole series thtough the internet. i guess the question is, if they are able to stream the 1st motos on Alli... why not show the second? If it is a matter of the "tv deal/copyright" make it a PPV and I can sit my happy ass infront of my computer all day fat and happy.... or better yet since it is 2012 I can run my HDMI right from my computer to my TV and watch in HD on the sofa.... just like TV... amazing how simple it sounds!

That's what I was thinking. You guys get all excited that people on the other side of the world get to watch a race that is happening in your country live and you don't. What a joke.

Nice work DC. The US fans really appreciate having to wait until 9:30 for the lame NBC broadcast, while the Euros get both motos live.
