When Ferrandis is on fastest laps of race or passing people right and left they will miss it.. when he is saving bike and rollin around they film it for 20mins...

We barely saw him... they flashed him on the screen when he was passing Kenny, but just for a second.

Damn that's weak. He was a couple seconds behind Kenny one lap then when he came back around he was a couple seconds ahead of him. Me and my buddy were like "wtf?!" Absolutely flying

First time at Southwick, great place! My opinion on Tomac being there. Tomac started around 20th-25th in moto 1. He got to 9th pretty quick but there was a huge gap from him to Sexton. He got to him with 4-5 to go and just couldn’t make the pass, had he made it quickly I think he gets a few more but he lost his flow. Moto 2 was something else. He had to be 10-12 seconds behind Roczen and just mowed him down! To me it seemed like the outside lines opened up a lot more moto 2 and he was just on rails. He settled in 5th for a few laps but once he found his groove he passed AC, Ferrandis, and Webb over the course of 2 laps.

250’s should have been an RJ sweep if he could find a way to stay on 2 wheels. He was so fast in practice and in Moto 1

Bike problems not long after the start. 2nd turn and he pulled off. They tried to get it running, but after 2 laps down they couldn't get it fired up, so just went back to the pits.

Now you see why the mxgp package is a little more expensive as they never miss any of the action period!!

if they would of mentioned how much time Tomac was making up on Roczen we would of at least seen one lap from Tomac

Or maybe the film crew was French lol
The coverage in some ways is so maddening. The boys need to cut there story telling in half and call more of the doggone race. The camera dudes all got confused at the end of the 450 moto and followed the wrong guy across the finish. Eli pops into the camera shot a couple seconds later, then they switch to another camera with none of the front runners. On a fun note Bam Bam had a great day and entertained us lol. The move he put on AC made me lol in my easy chair. Justin still sees the red mist occasionally 😅

Wish mxgp could get rain covers for there cameras, then they would be spot on.

I can’t imagine it would be difficult to follow ET and Roczen for a few laps and if Ferandis bike blows they cut to him throwing his arms up in disgust. Obviously by most of the comments and thoughts (I was screaming the F bomb at my tv) the coverage was piss poor at best.

Good god just watched the 2nd motos and y’all weren’t kidding, we saw nothing of Tomacs unreal ride. He went from fourth to first and we saw one pass and that was on Dylan for third, pathetic.

Wish Dylan’s bike wasn’t smoking see if he could hang with Tomac which I doubt but would’ve been nice. He still rode unreal considering he was nursing a bike m, guy is a beast clutch or not.

Thankful they're both uninjured from that. Could have been a far worse outcome. Swoll would have been complimented with a good save if Jett wasn't so close but now he becomes a villian.

It was clear since the beginning that the broadcast was settled in covering Ferrandis, it felt like they wanted his bike to granade and as always checking the live timing is too complicated for them.

I don't think they were wanting the bike to quit...but I do think that DF14 has become the darling of NBC MX Sports coverage.

They didn't care about an amazing ride from Tomac one bit and it showed.

Why would anyone care about missing the moment his bike had it's last puff? You cut to him walking back and that's it.

Don't we watching racing to watch racing? We're not watching for DNFs that might happen?
