Did anybody else see nothing but commercials after the first 450 moto? The first 250 moto didn't start until 50 minutes into the 2nd hour of the coverage on foxsports1. They showed it up to the top of the hour, let it run over to 1st commercial, then went to the scheduled horse racing.
I jumped to foxsports 2, and it was the same shit.....saw the 450 that started late...ran past the top of the hour. The 2nd 250 moto started 50 minutes into the 2nd hour...went to the top of the hour...then it switched to motogp practice. WTF?????????????????????????????????????

So frothy, did the first 250 mot start 50 minutes late on your broadcast? I am just asking if anybody else saw the same thing. I grew up racing in the 70s; and my parents DID teach me to appreciate, so STFU asshole

Lol. Y'all are funny. Yea man it was cool here on Comcast in the SE. Normal amount of commercials. We have this discussion every week and it's gotten alot better. DC has weighed in on it a few times about why. I would like less of course, but it pays for the actual tv spot so I can't complain. Without sponsors paying for commercials, there's no racing on TV period, especially live. It is what it is bro!

I think Elsinore got screwed through his provider in some sort of mistake. He wasn't complaining about the amount of commercials but rather WTH happened to pretty much ALL the racing.

His deal sounds like a mistake was made with the new Fox ports or something

Hey Regis, thank you for seeing my point......sorry if I did not not convey it clear enough. I have heard DC on DMX and Pulp, and fully understand the deal. Live motocross is so cool (even with the normal commercials). It must have been a local thing with my provider....glad you boys were able to see the 250s. Eli looked like he was on kill coming up thru the pack.

" Eli looked like he was on kill coming up thru the pack."
Fact! Baggett was on fire at the end as well. I hope you will get to watch a rerun or something. Only bummer is the commercials always seem to come at the worst times.
I vote they implement a standard of absolutely NO BREAKS during the final 5 plus two. None whatsoever unless their is a dire warning aliens are landing to rape our women or something.
