So I set my DVR to record the late nite/early morning broadcast of the 2nd 250/450 motos, based on the TV times broadly publicized on Saturday. When I sat down last night to watch them, I had a hockey game on one channel and some flat track racing on another. No MX in the time slot that was supposed to be set for the races. No problem, I'll watch on YouTube. All 4 motos were on YT last night, and I watched one 450 moto before heading to bed. Tonite, all of the motos have been taken down from YT.
So first of all, I understand it's a different year and everyone is scrambling to try to get the races run and on TV in some format. But is it really that hard to tell us on the very day of the race when they will be broadcast later that day? Second, what's with the heavy-handed YT censorship? If the races are on in the middle of the nite and at times different from those advertised, no one is going to watch them on NBC Sports anyway. So why pull them from YT, the only other place someone could go to watch.
The TV coverage this year really sucks (not the actual broadcasts, but the changing times, channels, etc). NBC Sports -- get your freakin' act together. I guess this is NBC's way to push everyone to buy their "Gold" package.

I feel your pain!
I wish they would let the races live on youtube

I hope Elon Musk can fix the crappy internet problem for good with his Starlink service. It's been a loooong time coming. Having good internet would change my life, haha
