That's annoying, but it doesn't hold a candle to the pain inflicted by listening to Scott Russell attempting to call a race. I'd rather just hear the bike engines. Or nothing.

I agree the speed/american announcers suck, it was like that when fox or nbc had the races a few years back.

Ok races so far. Even with all the GP boys bitching about the condition of the new asphault, there have been far less crashes this year.

Spoiler:
Terol dominated 125 from pole, and my boy Marquez took a convincing win in Moto2.


Gp up in a half hour, followed by the XR1200 race 2. Race 1 last night was fuckin awesome. These XRs are cool.

Indy is boring, hopefully the Austin layout is better.
