Disappointing news:

http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/confirmed-no-television-for-the-ama-pro-road-races-at-the-red-bull-us-grand-prix-at-mazda-raceway-laguna-seca/

Especially when paying extra for CBS Sports channel for this purpose.

uhh..yeah,
that's the kind of stuff that would piss-off people to the moon.

starting with the teams, racers, (long list of people) who are driving LONG distances, a lot of $$$ spent just getting there.
there will be RIOTS over this!!!

That is extremely shitty news. Not good. I'm hoping this is not just the beginning though.......


:argh:

Part of me assumes that that was just the best deal that they could work out and, hey, CBS Sports has been good so far this year. But then the whole not telling anyone about the no-Laguna stuff... opcorn:

CBS sports network very good coverage better then what speed was doing with it, show during the day, the day of the races. Suck about Laguna not being televised though :argh:

And don't forget, CBS Network has been putting FULL RACES on youtube, they are all up on the AMA Pro Racing channel. Not just highlights - the full broadcast. I think they have done a great job.

Now AMA OTOH...

Bull Riding woooowhoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[griffonrider]

Moto GP coverage on SPEED was pretty good. I would like to see Rossi win another one though. I checked out the Bull Riding and it kinda reminded me of my own body position in Turn 5 at RA in May.
