The race was great but...WTF!?

[CRF59jk]

The race this morning was AWESOME! Great battle. But.... I would of liked it if I could of seen the damn race track! It was so dark, it looked like they where just going up and down in outer space with a couple tuff blocks on the side. Did anyone else notice this? Or was it just me?

[jsthumper]

I noticed. But how about james stewarts kawi just dying on the top end loosing the race for him?

[Autospirit]

Maybe it's your new plasma TV combined with the glare of the clear Colorado sun.

Really though, I didn't notice any bad quality?

Agreed it was a good race.

DUDE, "Lets cut back to the Progressive Direct Holeshot"... :ride:

Everytime, just when the racings hot, they gotta cut away to some BS horribly choppy and poorly edited shot of something that happened 5 laps ago! If its not that, its a shot of the 8th place riders helmet cam!

SPEED CHANNEL GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!

as a green fan i must defend my babies honour...

james mentioned he hit neutral on the approach, saying mud was packed on the peg or shifter

wasnt the bikes fault

[Johnnybmoto]

We dont need to see the holeshot 17 times!!!

[btc20mx]

agreed, I thought looking at the holeshot 3 times was a little much. Nothing that great happened

[CRF59jk]

I was really pissed when Chad Reed didnt win. I wonder if he didnt want to talk at the end because they didnt have a interview with him.

[the5farrs]

I was at the race and it was a GREAT RACE!!!

Did Reed pass up the podium or did they just not air his interview?

[the50ho]

It was just passed up on the coverage. He gave an interview last night.

We stayed for a while afterwords and the first thing he did when he left the podium, was walk over the the spot where he crashed. He stood there for a good 2-3 minutes just looking at the ground with a couple of his crew.

i agree the coverage is horrible and why the obsession with the holeshot???

i'd have rather watched ricky jumping off th track and saving it which they told us about but really didnt show.....

and next week i'm watching it with the sound muted cuz i'm so sick of ralph sheheen talking over and over about chad reed riding with his hurt shoulder blah blah blah......

that really did get old quick.

[veloc1ty]

is ricky going to be commentating when hes not racing? he's a lot better then those 2 clowns repeating themselves over and over

[GARhead]

I thought the track looked dark, also. And CBS hasn't the third place finisher yet.

What up with not showing any of the SX LCQ? The guys on the webcast made that out to be a great race with DV12 putting a block pass for 2nd in the last corner and CBS doesn't even mention it.

p.s. I wouldn't call Emig a clown.

[Yamahamx684]

Man what wat the hell was up with Eric Sorby blocking Reed, that really pissed me off, and i imagine it really really pissed reed off, AWSOME race tho!

[breweryrat]

They barely even showed the second heat let alone the LCQ (which was a good race). If you aren't wearing #4, 7 or 22, you ain't getting any airtime.

Great race though. The first half of the main was pretty close...

That wasn't Sorby's fault, wasn't Reed's fault either. Chad had to make a quick second decision and so did Sorby. They just happened to both go high. Sorby didn't do anything intentional, it was one of them deals where they both decided to go to the outside at the same time. It definately hurt Chad, but nobody is too blame, just racing.

[bubby6]

Emig is a good commetator, but sheheen just repeats stuff.

Ricky obviously will know what he is talking about.

Sorby is merde.

Preston knows that I bet.
