Forgive me if this has been said before but why in the world do they have these jokers on during qualifying?? It's ridiculous and nobody cares what these nobodies think.

PLEASE Peacock let us watch the qualifying like we signed up to watch!! Know your f@#king target audience. The guys you have on the show are CLOWNS. The racers like Zach Osbourne are great when they are talking about the track while showing the quali but taking the focus off the track and quali and going trackside during the session is so frustrating.

RDL is a joke. No other motorsport program that I watch has all this dumb bullshit fluff. They have a 3 hour broadcast and run all these dumb little segements when bikes are on track.

I’m glad to have something to watch. I laugh when I hear about guys at work watching football all day. I’m just glad to have something to be excited about.

As much bitching as you guys do you have to admit they did a great job in the final qualifying with Colt

I came in late when 450Q2 was on the line and it was a great game trying to figure out who was talking. I never got it until your post though. He did very well.

For both Q1 A sessions they ran commercials and came back to the riders on track. Unforgivable for a paid subscription.

I paid for Peacock and am watching that stupid shit as bikes are on the track.
Even if it’s 250C it’s what I paid for not this nonsense.
* Colt was awesome!

I thought it was awesome today. They caught a lot of hot laps and Zach and Colt were great.

Best one so far for sure. Colt and Zach made it a much better show.

Not a fan of the grade segment and every lap of qualifying needs to be shown. Don’t do segments during practice. If you want to do them do it during down time.

Watching the trackside dude ride that TTR125 (or whatever it was), through the sand section was a roll your eyes moment. His exaggerated head bobbing and weaving to send the point home that it was difficult was cringeworthy. Then he says he almost died. Did he get trained by Rut this week?

I don’t understand how people watch it literally all day. Or how their families put up with it. A buddy of mine literally sits in his recliner from first sip of coffee until he’s on sundays. And here I am feeling guilty about carving out a 4 hour block when I could be hanging with my daughter 😅

The host talks too much. It takes him 5 minutes to make a point and long winded questions. Did seem to catch more full hot laps today. I hate when they follow until 3/4 then switch to a guy rolling lol

At this point, I think it would be a better production if they didnt have any announcers, fillers, segments, etc. Just bikes and bike noise for the full 3-4 hours that practice is active.

I’d rather watch security cam footage from the nosebleeds over RDL. What happened to when it was for the super fans to watch practice. Today was the first day in years that I had to turn it off

Every rider should have a GoPro so we can direct our own show.

I gave RDL 4 times this year to get it right.
I can't see wasting time any longer hoping to see racers putting in fast laps.
Instead it's playing school girl games of grading riders, sucking craig's ass, or watching guys roll through the whoops.

And the assclown on the pit bike !!
What the fuck was that about ??

Yeah, that clown is the new Rutledge Wood. What an f-ing goon!!! Did you hear him during the Craig interview??? First the questions - holy hyperbole Batman! And then every time Craig answered he was giggling like a madman into his mic. It was the worst thing I think I've ever seen on RDL.

Same here...glad I apparently have lower standards also. With that being the case, I can thankfully avoid getting bent out of shape over trivial crap. Just glad there's live coverage of qualifying.

What a bunch of whining pusses. If you don't like it turn it off, or if you like some content leave it on. Either way stop f****** bitching about it.

I watch the races the next day, and stay off Vital until I do. I only watch the heats, LCQ's, mains. Nothing else. I watch on a computer b/c it's much easier to scroll forward than any TV I've used.

Hey how about that Stacyc commercial during the main events? Like over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over….

Just my subjective opinion but I thought RDL was a great show and very entertaining. Somebody is putting thought into the content and its produced well

Those segments run while there's no action on the track. They need to fill space. And the hosts need a break every so often to take a leak and get a drink.

The worst part is how the cameras follow one rider for far too long, even when they're on a slow lap. We watch a guy putt around as all these hot laps and fast times pop up on the scoring. Somebody needs to watch the track and get the cameras on anyone putting in a heater. Let the hosts talk about that.

Its a mortal sin to put Hubbard over Uncle Jim. Whatever NBC exec thought that was a good idea should be fired. Blair belongs on Days of our lives the drama is on the track no need for a bunch of school girl storylines my god. Its a complete joke un professional in every way and makes the sport look like its as difficult as a hot dog eating contest. Lastly idc who that tik fart girl was but we dont need her or her followers in this sport. Jeremy McGrath was used to bring new fans into the sport and was promoted correctly. Use the current top riders to Promote the sport not tik farters.
