Tpoppa Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 If you weren't aware. NBC/SN is carrying MotoGP this season. https://nbcsportsgrouppressbox.com/2020/07/02/nbc-sports-announces-motogp-telecast-schedule-for-2020-season/ I just watched the Spanish GP. It was very interesting. I won't give spoilers, but it should be a wide open season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSerfozo Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 You can thank me and my luck. Two days before Qatar was cancelled, I spent over $200 to get the VideoPasses for MotoGP and WSBK. Now that I've waited 4 1/2 months to use it and they show it on a cable channel I was already getting! Oh well, I got to spend the weekend watching some great qualifying and MotoE, 2, & 3 races. I'll get my money's worth. Today at lunchtime, a socially distanced group of friends and I watched the MotoGP on a big screen TV at work. What a race! This will definitely be an interesting season.

motociclista Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Now that we're a few races into the resumed season, I have to say I'm disappointed. Motorcycle racing coverage seems to continue to diminish in the U.S. NBCSN is only covering selected WSBK rounds and some MotoGP rounds are live, others tape-delay. No Moto2, Moto3 or World Supersport, all of which we could see in past years on beIN Sports. I know a lot of people complained about beIN because it was not a widely available channel, but at least they showed all the races live. Seeing the races at 7:30 a.m. on a Sunday is not that bad, because they I still have the whole day to go riding or do what I want or need to do. Spending have the day avoiding social media so I don't know who won the race before I watch it at 3 p.m. is not ideal. Plus, an American rider was on the podium today in the intermediate class for the first time since the 1990s (go Joe Roberts!) but nobody in the U.S. saw it on TV.

MSerfozo Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I was surprised to see FS1 showed MotoAmerica Superbike races for the last 2 weeks. They're showing some of the other classes on affiliated networks but I don't get any of those. Unfortunately, compared to MotoGP and WSBK, the MotoAmerica coverage seems amateurish. But at least they aren't interrupting the actual race for commercials. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its pretty damn good considering where Motorcycle Road Racing in America is right now... basically non-existent. Unrelated: I think it's funny that all those "major" sports are cancelling their season. Players that are paid more a season than the entirety of some MA team budgets combined are saying I don't wanna play. You'll never hear that from a motorcycle racer. "Oh my arm is about to fall off? Cool good thing my 1pc suit will keep it attached. Lets go racing!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
