More disrespect from Speed today. They are only showing race 1 of World Superbike at Aragon,Spain and not until tonight. They plan to show race 2 and Supersport on Tuesday, two days after the race. I suppose U.S. race fans should be happy that they broadcast motorcycle racing at all. This is BS:mad: What kind of coverage to you Europeons and Austrailians have?
 
Speed hasn't been great since it was 'SpeedVision' instead of the Fox owned Nascar channel.

On Euro-Sports usually - Live qualifying; SuperStock 1000 Live or same day delayed, Live WSBK race one; Live SuperSport, SuperStock 600, Live WSBK race 2..

Being from the US, I understand the issues with Speed not giving bike racing fans any love. Coverage in Europe is fantastic.

Now that is great coverage. Not like here in the U.S., NASCAR or nothing!
 
WTF Over???

This totally blows!
Not to mention this too. There is no worse commentator for this sport than the punch drunk Scott Russell who can barely get a clear sentence out. AND the biggest toolbag that ever got a microphone and spot for this. Greg White!
Asks the dumbest questions, has biggest ego ever, and year ago at the final AMA race at VIR shoved me right out of the way while I was talking with Nicky Hayden about his ride and win! I had to be restrained from dropping this ...... right then after that one!

Sorry , just had to vent when I got upset about Speed canceling more races! Soon they wont even let us watch the end of the damn event and cut it off before we see who wins! :mad::mad::eek:
 
Try futubox.com they have eurosport live coverage and watch later feature I watched all the races including the supersctock you should try it
 
I hate watching the US rounds of GP for exactly that reason - there's only so many times I can listen to Scott Russell go "You gotta gor for it, this is MotoGP!" Not to mention the stupid 5 minutes intro they have to do for every race, then make up the time by having the racing continue during commercial breaks (at least until the end).
 
unreal how they treat motorcycle racing. i just DVR them all and wait. how about this, anyone now why they don't show post race GP interviews? do ask them via Facebook as they just ignore you.
 
Lmao

He has so many dumb ... sayings! I dont know why they keep that dude around, he is ancient history! Get someone up there more recent and not a damn hick who fights for what to say! They do shorten every damn race and even at the end Ive seen them only let the winner speak at press conference instead of all top 3 on podium. Its getting worse by the year.

During blow out races with the leaders so far ahead they should try to get in shots of the rest of the field too so all riders get a shot at being on screen. If only the fans could suggest a few things to do to make it a more enjoyable time viewing huh?
 
....... Hell
Starting May 1 / 2014, No more Speed Channel up here in Canada...
No more MOTO GP on speed ....
.... speed...

Now more than ever I must rely on my "people" for coming through with those videos I post of the races...

Maybe you'll get MotoGP on FoxSports like here in the US. Speed essentially became FoxSports. F1 got picked up by CBSSports so there's hope...
