comentating was pretty good!! GW and KS did a nice job, like the motoGP regular guys but better than the regular Speed guys.

Yeah, some of these guys could benefit from media training. I was expecting to see Colin start picking his nose next.

On the topic of personal grooming...what's up with Nicky's attempt at facial hair?

Really?  I thought the commentary was awful, I'd rather download the Eurosport broadcast and watch that.

Greg White is terrible!  If you're going to be a commentator for a sport in which you yourself participate wouldn't you think you would learn how to pronounce the names of the athletes correctly?  And just because you're on CBS and not EuroSport or Speed you don't have to go into exhaustively long details about every aspect of how and why the riders do what they are doing.

Hey cut him some slack! This is America!  I mean maybe they are working under the assumption that the MotoGP crowd is as "intelligent" (cough, cough) as the NASCAR crowd. They are just giving equal treatment....

I'm curious what the average Joe who isn't as familiar would think.  I thought Greg did a good job, but I get excited (in a good way) whenever I see racing on TV.   :biggrin:

Does anybody know what happened to Hayden's bike in Assen?  Killing on the last corner.   He's lucky to have only lost one place.

Schwantz is a good splainer, but the pandering to civilians was too obvious.

Wasn't too bad.  At least the video quality didn't look like a High School basketball game on public tv like what the Speed Channel gets.  That and yamaha needs to change their commercial with the stretched out bikes.  ha.

I was irritated by the commentating to the point I watched almost the entire race with the mute on!  Greg White is a complete F ing moron and Kevin Schwantz is scary looking! I was watching with a friend who doesn`r know the sport and her comments were....Is that guy sick or does he have something wrong with him? (Schwantz) and ....Boy this is cool....if they could put a show together around this sport it would take off!!!!
