Well, the SPEED coverage of Indy was a little better than their recent coverage on the other MotoGP races.
Compared to the euro coverage... pathetic.

Someday you guy's will realize that MotoGP racing is about as popular as soccer in the states. The coverage will never be that of the Euro coverage, or on the MotoGP website. Wait a minute, that is available.  |

showed way too much off track nonsense
I felt like I barely saw the race itself
Their qualifying coverage was even worst, if that's possible. |

Speed sucked.
The turd flew past Ben like he was standing still. That bike is just crazy fast and the midget weighs nothing. Power to weight.
Ben looked awesome even though he has inferior equipment. If I was Lorenzo I would be worried in 2012 after Ben has a few seasons to learn the tracks.

You don't agree that he has inferior equipment to what Lorenzo uses? |

I agree its not the same, but I think inferior isn't the word. The Suzuki is inferior equipment. The satellite Yamaha is a very small step down in comparison. That small step is all Ben needs going into the next few years... but inferior equipment? No. |

That may be his arm after he went down in practice, he was digging in his elbow to protect the broken wrist, and burned a hole through his leathers and then some. All of those guys shrug off injury after injury, makes other sports figures look pretty lame. |

So what is it...subpar? If it isn't the same then it is inferior. Agreed the Suzuki is more inferior. |

Rossi's bike? Not according to Yamaha. And not according to the top speeds. The Ben's Yami was the second slowest bike on the grid. The only slower bike is Colin's.

Apparently it had the same aero bodywork and mechanicals. Everything except the electronics package. Well according to the eurosport commentators anyways. |
