Ironman - Main Races Bench Racing

I was going to say that I thought they did a decent job with the camera work and focusing on the best battles that race, and then they go straight to commercial after the top 2 cross the line.

You missed some good battles. The broadcast isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than the SX broadcast.

Shocker. he rode right behind AC the whole race but finished behind him.

I forget how amazing Musquin is on this track. He looked so good that moto. He was seriously fast in 2017 too. so gutted for Anstie!

It's so frustrating. You can easily spot a race and direct a show simply by looking at livetiming. It' not hard to see where the action will be.

Cant help thinking the 250 race would be better without all the old guys in it, but that 450 race was good.. great result for Marv.

Yeah, and you would think someone in the trailer would keep an eye on things and report it so that the broadcast would talk about what's really happening on track.

I mean one of the front runners and most popular guys goes out and not a peep about it.

I have NBCSN on YouTube Tv. I will still get to watch the second Moto. Tape delay.

He was just not fast enough to pass him. Kinda like Tomac was not fast enough to Get Marv.

haha Adam is awesome!
Funny stuff. He is the best. So easy for him to be self-deprecating. Looking forward to decades of his analysis of the sport.

Awesome moto for Musquin. I am very impressed he managed to keep Tomac behind all moto.

Barcia was also way back around 20th to 6th. What a charge.

That's not a new phenomenon between the two. Marvin had a better lap than Eli. Sexton had a better lap than AC

There is a sample size in the 250 class of Sexton catching Cianciarulo late in motos and not passing him

Marv the only guy in the 2:03's with a 2:03:68. Tomac's best lap a 2:04:16.

Tomac mentioned in the post race that the track was one-lined but started to open up a little at the end of the moto.

Is this Marvin's best track? He was pretty much the only guy that had something for Herlings for parts of the race in 2017. And last year moto 1 was great as well
