I'd rather see retired ex-pro racers (Kdub, Holley, MC, Hughes, Lamson, Bradshaw, Dowd, anyone) interview the racers on the podiums, at starting lines, pits, etc. than the current female interviewers on NBC/Fuel coverage. We would get a better depth/quality of info and insight from both sides of the conversation than the usual Erin-type "Take us through the moto.." or "what does this podium finish do for you" or "talk about your start" or "talk about you pass on.." or "Tyler Ratway, whats your take away with your performance"... yeesh, a female chimp wearing a flowered bikini could conduct a better interview.
I assume the only reason for these women interviewers are to improve the attention of the male audience, but they're not that good-looking .... it's like hearing your sister who knows nothing at all about the sport trying to fake a conversation on it ... very annoying. The Monster/Rockstar girls are good to have there, but don't give them a speaking part.

"So you just got 2nd again... what's it going to take for you to win one of these?"
derp
Maybe we don't need better people asking the questions, it might be the people writing the questions.

edit - Georgia Lindsey 'nuff said
The heat race winner being interviewed respected the person asking the question and gave a better answer, knowing a canned answer wouldn't be fitting. Kind of like a "peer-to-peer" conversation instead of "subject matter expert speaking to a layman" that is happening with the current female interviewers attempting to get info out of the racers.
NFL coverage also has female interviewers that have the same situation... I believe many of the players do not give a true response because they don't relate on a common perspective...
I remember when Bob Hannah was doing Erin's job and he did a terrible job imo. Or was that for SX?
I prefer the pretty girls with bolt on's.

What difference does it make who asks the question when most of what you get for a response is a sponsor list?
As for their abilities,it's just an mx interview anyway,not a world peace debate.Once's pretty much as good as the next imo.
The girls are far easier on the eyes than some old wrinkled up ex racer-to me anyway.I'd stick with them.
