If you don't like the heats and LCQ's you could just tune in at 9 and miss them.

"Heats" were always a joke. But they need to tighten up the down time. I think they're actually trying to fill the standard three-hour slot whether it fits or not.

I like it. I think the motos should be longer.

10, 15, & 20 min motos

It is badass but theyre wasting a lot of time. If they shrink it to 2 hrs without all the dead time and nothing but mains itd be great.

I'm thinking 2 x 20 in a two-hour time slot.

Thing is, the riders do need some down time between motos.

I also agree with that. 2 hours of everything that counts.

Format is terrific, but it definitely needs some tuning. Wayyyy too much commercial watching. More than American football.

Longer first mains definitely at least. But I love being able to have more chances of seeing my favorite riders have a good race!

I like the format so far but Feld needs to cut down on the down time.
1/20/2018 8:34pm
I’m on the same page. Less downtime and we’re in the money. After seeing the start of 450 main 2 I love it even more

Just add b mains for the 18 guys that didn’t make the main and this would be perfect

I like the format and racing.....don't like the downtime, but I have a feeling that Feld's business plan with SX is built around a 3 hour program. ( commercials= revenue stream)

2 hours would be much better with the same amount of racing.

The Intensity is high for sure. Much higher then usual, or perhaps its just the track and they would be racing like this in the traditional format as well.

The only way to fix this is to DVR it and Fast forward through the hour of commercials. It sucked.

I think alot of potential fans will be be wandering off during the long commercial breaks and not returning.

Yes what? Yes more commercials? That first segment was 46 minutes of commercials and fluff. I could have literally went to the gym before the 2nd main started. Absurd.

For a Yamaha guy.....I like the way you think!

How's that any different from 2 hours of qualifying heats? Even F1 gets its qualifying done in an hour, and they don't tangle it up with the main event. Plus their qualifying is a million times more important.

I loved it. Would like to see less commercials and instead see more science of SX, rider interviews, in depth team, bike, mechanical type stuff. Anything but the makeup 2 mud joke.

I would rather them pay regular points per main event. Getting 75 points if you won all 3. Instead of 3 mains counting as one in the end...

Agreed. I loved the new format.

I cant for the life of me understand the dead time tho. Just run the moto's back-to-back-to-back-etc.

I think the easier track also aided to the action. It lets the guys actually "race" instead of just "survive".

Thank god I recorded the race becaus the gaps inbetween were horrible. I agree. A b main would be a great idea and let the guys that did not make it get a chance for tv time and to race
