The Mayweather/Pacquiao fight was equally as boring.

At least Jerez wasn't billed as "the race of the century".


I get that some races will be dull like this, but what I wish they would do is when it's apparent that JL or MM or whoever is running away with it and there is no competition for 2nd or 3rd either, then invest more coverage in some of the other contests.  MotoGP glossed over the battle for 10th (?) briefly, which seemed like it was really exciting---at least more exciting than watching JL/MM/VR racing alone.  I think the race for 10th had like 4 riders jockeying for position.  Dolph

Best way to watch the race, plus I can turn off the announcers.  Wink

I agree with Kopf; however, the multi-screen package wouldn't help. It gives the TV feed, heli feed, and a few on-boards of the main riders. Nothing to show battles further down the field.

I thought you could select which rider you wanted to watch. They would switch between camera views, but it would be for the specific rider.

You can, but only out of 4 riders, which are typically the fast guys...Rossi, JLo, MM, Dovi, Pedrobot, etc. Unless they're down in 10th, no help.

So you can't pick the backmarkers? What if I wanted to watch Barbera piggy back around the track?

Boring race, but great for the championship fight.

Has anyone heard anything about Jack Miller and any reason he's not living up to any of the expectations?  Last year he was being heralded as the next big thing and now he's just another backmarker that gets mentioned less than other backmarkers.

Hoping that the jump to MotoGP wasnt as big of a mistake as it looks like it was.  Also makes that choice that MM made to stick it out in Moto2 for one more year vs jumping right into MotoGP seem very smart.  I remember thinking that he was crazy for not trying to make the jump asap but now I can def see the reasoning for getting more seasoning.

He's on the shitty Honda Open bike. I don't think he's doing too bad, all things considered.
