It seems like everyone on this forum likes to complain so I thought, in an effort to provide balance, we should also talk about what we're stoked about after the last two rounds (including the TV package. haha)
1. I'm stoked we get to watch the races live. Might not be every week but, for the most part, live. I can cross-reference live timing from the app with what is going on from the broadcast.
2. Stoked to see so many healthy title contenders and a deep field. Looking forward to some amazing racing the rest of the season.
3. Stoked for Kenny and the Honda team. It's been a long time coming and Kenny looked solid tonight.
4. Stoked to watch Jett Lawrence. He the smoothest "out-of-control" guy I've ever seen. haha Fun to watch.
5. Stoke to see Leigh Diffey in the booth for a couple rounds. Feels like it elevates our sport to have a former F1 announcer and current Olympic/ Indy Car announcer in the booth. (A rising tide raises all ships.) I would bet when Ralph comes back, his game will be elevated as well.
6. Ricky is doing a great job. Stoked for him and stoked to see him really "putting his head down" to become better as a color analyst. Keep up the good work.
I could go on and on but I'll give you guys a chance to share what you're stoked about. Remember, this isn't an argument. It's a place to showcase what you think is awesome about the season. If you don't agree with someone's opinion, please find another thread.

Bam Bam riding strong
And that on any given night 6 or 7 guys could win and I wouldn't be a bit surprised. Field is deep. Work those starts boys...
Kenny winning after everything he's been through
I'll also admit that RC was quite good last night. I think Diffey is really good too and wish he was the new guy.
not stoked about: the production team still needs a kick in the ass!
How long will Barcia be a title threat ?
I want to see if Roczen can FINALLY keep this riding consistently for 17 rounds.
How good will Cianciarulo's season gonna be ? Will he minimize the mistakes enough to battle for the title ?
I want to see if Tomac will find solutions. It is not that he is riding slowly like someone mentioned on vital, but his riding is not good. It's not precise, he is riding sketchy and as long as he does not solve the things that makes him ride like this, he won't get that title.

2 rounds, so 20% of the races have been done for this coast. The way JC32 rode, aggressive pass, all out raw speed WHILE staying intelligent as he did when he took the necessary time to pass some of those guys, he was riding like a champ to me.
Austin is now Justin's biggest contender (does not mean Dylan is out of it though). He is getting the start but he need to prove if he can ride out of his comfort zone like Cooper did last night. He didn't successfuly do it at A1 and he will probably need to ride under pressure or with a bad start at least a couple times. This is where we gonna see if he can be tougher than JC.
Ferrandis need those starts, but more importantly to finish ahead of AF and JC. Every time he see them in front he needs to go and pass them. 15 points in two rounds that's big BUT 8 rounds to go that means he need to take back less than 2 points every night. And with the East/West rounds it is legit to say he is in the hunt for the title. Oh and pay attention to the mistakes. Unlike his opponents he does not have any room for them...
Can little Lawrence get that win ? Would be huge but the most important stuff for him is to continue the learning curve by running with the front guys like he did.
That's it for me!
Not stoked that the media doesn't tell us before the race who is sick or hurt.
Pit Row
Stoked that all 3 are fit and on their game for next weekend.
Also-
4 mains, 4 winners.
