Speaking of commercials, race day live is absolutely unwatchable any more. Might as well watch the timing feed, would see almost the same amount of bikes on track....
Less racing sucks, period. There is ALWAYS action in any race.

Now they need to clip the LCQ next. At A1 both of the 10th place finishers from the heats advanced through the lcq (as expected). Bisceglia advanced after a DNS in the Heat? WTF? The only intrigue was Bowers making the main. What a waste of everyone's time. I don't want top rider's seeded into the main either. Race your way in, no "Mulligan" races for anyone. If you're out you're out. There is too much consistency in results, so having sudden death elimination would open it up some.
Shorten the show.
The triple crown is almost the right idea. Now the top 22 will race 3 times. The top 44 should get to have a chance.
Digital.... Video... Recorder. Tune out problem gone!
Before, a good portion of the top guys generally qualified out of the heat races. Then they sit on the sidelines, while the next tier guys go out, wear themselves down, and boost their exposure to injury...for a race that doesn't mean anything.
They extended race times to try and match what they were doing before. I think it's a win-win.
The rider intros were much shorter this year than last year. This year they introduced seemingly half the amount of riders that they did last year, and the riders road around for much less time this year.
Before heat 1 of the 250s, the announcer named off every single guy on the starting gate along with their sponsors. That was a bit drawn out.
Heat 2 of the 250s, the announcer began naming off every rider again, but was cut short.
I beleive after heat 2 of the 250s, the track crew went out and did maintenance real quick to clean up a few corners.
Heat 1 of the 450s lined up prompty after heat 2 of the 450s. Same with Heat 2.
After the heats, they did track maintenance and some Toyota fan event on the track. I actually enjoyed watching the track crew reshape some of the sections (they mainly focused on smoothing out turn 1, turn 2, turn 4, and a touching up a few other sections.)
LCQ's were fun to watch.
Main's started right after the LCQ's pretty much.
Pit Row
1. Im tired of Ralph and Jeff pulling words out of their ass to try and dumb down the sport
2. Ricky's track segments revolve around him standing near whoops bigger than him saying "the key to tonight is who can get through the whoops faster"
3. What is this garbage Juliana Daniel "Social Media Reporter??"
4. Lastly the overall timing of when they cut to segments must of been controlled by a toddler
What, its finished?, shit....oh man.
So, for me I was really excited to watch it all and I am very grateful for everything involved and everyone, but it's less racing to watch, and I like racing!.
now the filler they put between the LCQ and the main serve the same purpose.
could care less, bros
Bad for viewers sitting there with their thumb up their ass.
Bad for riders that need to attract sponsors.
I'm not sure what goes on during the off season but to much thinking leads to dumb decisions.
How can you have the Roczen arm story on the same show as a cartoon monster used to explain the rule changes (which coincidentally, is clearly the voice of one of the broadcasters)? I think it makes the rules more confusing to a non-regular viewer when delivered in a way were the viewer is first trying to figure out what the fuck they are looking at, rather than what is being said. Amateur at best.
