Moto GP - Indianapolis

[Ack-CB11_imp]

Terrible job from Fox on the Moto GP , even I have an automatic generator at home incase the power goes of.
I have been to many Rolling Stones concerts and they bring there own generators on tractor trailers.

Compared to last year Fox has been a big step down. They should stay with the "stick and ball" sports. Hopefully this is the last year of the contract, I wish they never bought Speed.

Had a great time this weekend. GP race was exciting for the first 6 laps or so, then Marc took over. No doubt he is good, but the entertainment just isn't there.

Nice meeting new people from the forum, and look forward to future events with others. I still have a few more pictures to get posted. There is 1 bike I dont know what it really is. Need someone to explain it to me.

FOX has the most unprofessional crew in motor sports. Their interviews during the race for one where they would cut away from the race coverage.
All this should have been done as pre-race. After commercial breaks, instead of a continuance of coverage, we got views of the track entrance or pit row. Monster Truck coverage is more up their alley I think.

Glad those that attended saw the entire race. Apparently a power failure happened and those watching on Fox Sports 1 missed a good portion of the race. One would think Fox would have gas/diesel generators to back up local power source. Took Fox a while to notify viewers and nothing but commercials in meantime.

The upside was they went to their "internet" coverage, which was the same as they had at LeMans on FS2. Just cameras and an open mike. I'd be perfectly happy to have that as the regular fare...although I suppose there were 3-4 announcers who were busting their guts with all the important things they had to say and nobody to hear it.

at 1:04 you can see where Rossi/Dovi ran wide and Marquez/Lorenzo slipped thru
