I am not going to complain, but following Millsaps for those laps was not what I wanted to see. I kept wanting them to cut back to the front. OK.... so I complained.

agree that it's good to see the full heats.

but, not real thrilled with the production. The thread you linked wasn't entirely wrong. And showing Villopotto in 10th when JBS and CR are a bike length apart seems kind of silly to me.

When James or CR is out front by 10 seconds, it's great to scan the pack for racing or just air time...but, if it's "bar to bar" up front, that's where the camera should be.

Oh wait...you are still stunned by Erin's shirt. Nevermind.

That's because they are broadcasting in HD.

If you are po' white trash like me and don't have an HD TV then you get crappy quality video. I do like the next day coverage though.

It bugs me when there are battles going on in the field, and they switch the cameras to the winner while he rides around by himself and takes the finish line (I think it happened in all four heats).

Can't they do like a picture in picture, thing for the winner, so we can still watch the real racing?

But I won't complain to loud...I got to watch both classes, the day after.

I thought they did good. Definitely worth the price. Shaheen and Fro aren't in the Eckman and Bailey league, but they're good.

BTW, if they had live PPV, I'd pay for that every week.

I like that SPEED is showing racing against each other and not just showing the leader riding by himself.

I really liked the 2 classes showing one after the other but.....if they made it one 2 hour show they would not have to waste valuable racing space showing the track lay out 2 times.

My DVR catches all but........My point is if they air 1 show they will only need to show the track map intro bit one time (not 2 times) and that would be enough time to show some LCQ footage.

both classes next day only keeps me away from the forums for one day, lol. good coverage for both heats but if i have a complaint, other then ralph, is agreeing with whoever said the cameras going away from a battle to see the leader all by himself taking a victory lap and putting around the track taking it easy. still, much better then last year, they are working on it and i applaud them for that.
