what do we get in the UK Tom ? Not much eh - just;

Super Pole

Race 1 Live

Supersport Live

Race 2 Live


highlights at least 3/4 times for the following week - God I love Eurosport.

Yeah we do well, with the exception of the crap comentry team they have in for superbikes. They spend about 40% of the broadcast talking about gridgirls and riders wives, and the rest of fit talking various other rubbish.

Well, you can always "Mute" them and get silent video at least... I basically get only MotoGP races (No Q) in ESPN and at bloody hours!

Anyway, I do with motogp.com

I'm in the whitham fan club. Both english eurosport commentators (sbk and gp) are great. I'd even say sbk commentators are funnier than gp's but toby and julian have the most all round prowess that makes the gp commentary experience out of this world.
Funny funny funny...maybe you have to have the blood of a yorkshireman to laugh at whitham

I do inact though put music over the finnish commentators tho...sorry what was the thread about?

I have to disagree with you greatly on that comment, the Eurosport WSBK commentary team is the best all round team there is!

Whitham, although he's a dirty old man, has the racing knowledge and adds humour to the broadcast.

And Burnicle gets made a fool of whenever he gets anything wrong!

Let me guess, you'd rather have the BSB commentary team from ITV?

Whoever the guy is apart from Whitham he REALLY pisses me off, whenever there is action he starts shouting, and he mispronounces riders names to a disgusting extent.

No-one is as bad as Jamie Green on Motors TV though! He shouts his head off whenever there is action, and just listen to him on the final lap of every race.

The motors tv commentary is all terrible, i am not bothered about that. But my issue with the eurosport guys is that I don't find Whitam funny at all, maybe its the yorkshire thing, but i just don't value his input. ANd Burnicle is ok, but he does get a lot wrong, and spends too much time just going "oooh" and "eeeeerr" when exciting stuff happens rather than talking about it.

The British superbike guy, i think you're refering to is Barry Nutley? the one with the real deep voice. I think he does an excelent job of convey the excitement and yes, i prefer him to the eurosport team, especially when teamed with steve parish, to get some knowledge and wisdom in the mix.

Sorry to Frosty if it seems like we are rubbing this in his face a bit by arguing over which of our commentary options is best from the coverage we get. But the bottom line is, watch it on eurosport anyway because its live. But motors tv is handy for cathing up on anything i have missed.

I ....... HATE the NASCAR CHANNEL! LINK

yeah didn't see it..you can erase my other one..

OH!..i went ahead and sent SPEED a nasty e-mail...i suggest you all do the same.. sent here LINK

here's mine..

I am in disgust with your so called "SPEED CHANNEL"...
Why don't you change it to The Napcar Channel....it seems thats all you SHOW!...

The World Superbike season kicks off this "WEEKEND", but not showing till TUESDAY?
WTF is wrong with you people....It's bad enough your coverage of Moto GP is crap, and thats cause the CHAMP is an American!

i suggest whomever is in charge of program scheduling take their head out of NASCARS A$$, and open their eyes....

with much hate, Alx

Its on Saturday, but that only makes it worse. I would understand if the let live NASCAR have priority, but i can't imagine there is no space in the racing to get the superbikes in before that.

well Saturday and Sunday race....i wouldn't mind race 1 being aired on Sunday before race 2....BUT TUESDAY!?...
