Greg White isn't a commentator for anything that rolls outside the US - thank GOD. The BEST footage can be downloaded. BitTorrent and www.racing-underground.com FTMFW

wonder if that'll change with AMA loosing factory support? as I assume it was because AMA gets preferential treatment over WSBK

Really I just wish I had the money to buy ESPN or something... start a channel 2wheeled ESPN... nothing but motorcycles... :dool:

While I appreciate a fellow motorcycle enthusiast... Greg White has to be the most annoying announcer ever... I understand that they're try'n to bring in new audiences... but damn... seemed like every race he explained what/where the throttle, clutch, or some other basic equipment was... mean while... missing a lap or two of the race... do that shit prior to a race... and if they're replaying the race... STOP the recording during commercials... fuck'n HATE that shit.


but yeah I've known about racing-underground.com for a while... though to be honest... up until recently didn't pay attention to WSBK... so never downloaded a race...

HD races FTMFW though!

I dont believe that... i sit down and DVR every motorcycle race i cant see, and there is no way they cover the entire season. Unless they show them at 3 am on a tuesday morning.

I do remeber though, that when they dont have time to show Moto GP 125 and 250 on a Sunday that they show them like Wednesday at like noon-ish...

that's if they show them... not a big deal... but as the 250 races are usually more exciting than the GP races.. it's nice to at least see...

Ok, don't believe it then. I set my DVR to record WSBK last year and don't recall missing a race. Like someone else said, they will show race 2 on a Tuesday, but that was the only drawback.

ehh I wouldn't go with SPEED unless there was absolutely no other way to see the races... I'm not sure if they stream live from the WSBK site or if they're only up after each race or what... but Racing-underground.com has the races as soon as they're done pretty much...

but yeah I remember year before last (when I was back in the states) catch'n WSBK on speed once or twice on some odd tuesday or so... at like 3 am

All WSBK needs is the GP.com commentators
