I really think Fox wanted to show anything they could except the race

It was like that on MotoGP.com too.. not Fox.
So at least I had better commentating... if you like Toseland =)

I am happy for Hayden.

Has anyone noticed that Stoner is still in 3rd in the championship despite not running the last 2 races???

It coulda, shoulda, woulda been a hellava battle.

Exactly the argument for him not packing it in.  He was in the championship hunt and gets paid to perform.  Take it as you will.  Probably never will be any definative diagnosis, just speculation and a cloud over the 09' season and his desire to fulfill his contractual obligations.  Who knows.

Pending he comes back, he could really throw a wrench into the outcome of this season though.  Its gonna be an exciting finish.

You guys whine about SPEED, whine about FOX, don't want to pay for a MotoGP subscription, and if you actually went to a race you would whine about the weather.  Roll Eyes

Laguna was hot as hell when I went in 07, traffic leaving sucked, the race sucked and the viewing sucked.   Grin

I do have a GP.com subscription, so I'm allowed to whine.    Cool

Pedrosa has the heart of a true champion. Right up to the line, he was pushing hard for every single point. I really like that guy.

Fun race despite the awful TV coverage.

Why doesn't Fox broadcast some pre-race stuff?  The local Fox station here was showing an infomercial.

i did go to the race in indy last year. was on the top bleacher row letting my poncho whip the guy next to me in the face. the only reason i whined about the weather then was because i drove 11 hours to sit in the rain of a red flagged race. kinda felt like i had a reason to pregnant dog. as far as the tv coverage, i am fine with the job speed does. i think fox had a better quality picture, but far worse commentary and race coverage. almost every pass that was made today was shown after the fact.  Roll Eyes

Glad you enjoy the web coverage, but I pay for cable, so why can't I whine about the TV coverage?  Eurosport has set a standard that FOX and SPEED aren't meeting.  I'd rather buy Eurosport than watch races on my laptop, but I haven't found a way to get it where I live.

I don't watch it on the web. I watch on SPEED and FOX, but I understand that the sport isn't as popular here in the states. I accept that and enjoy what I get. Whining about it is a waste of time.

They should have used the Speedway's monitor feed. It seemed pretty good.


Those that bought Project Muggello tickets got front row seats for Rossi's low side.

I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

I expected FOX's coverage to suck but the interview with the circle jerk nastycar drivers was a bit silly in the middle in the race. Also, Greg White's 5 minute long explanation of leathers was a bit much. Otherwise the GP and 250 race were alright, all things considered. 

Complaining is the point of joining a forum in the first place.  waytogo
