<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (frosty58 @ Jan 15 2009, 06:37 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>nick harris & gavin emmett. harris has been doing the commentary since at least the late 90s when his partner was dennis noyes. emmett has been doing it now for at least 3 seasons maybe 4, i can't remember when he started. i think, if i read correctly, that julian ryder will join the commentary team for this season.
I dont know who julian ryder is but if he's joining harris and emmet then he must be good. I was watching supercross the other day and ralph shaheene was doing the commentery, he wasnt that bad. It's funny how these stupid ... network executives think. They probably threw shaheene in to do the commentery at Indy believing that since he does supercross he'd be fine doing moto gp. The exec's must have said "isnt all motorcycle racing the same anyway?" so this makes me pity shaheene being that it probably wasnt his fault.

Jules Ryder used to be a commentator for Eurosport. He's featured a fair amount in Faster. He also writes a column for Soup every few weeks during the season.

Shaheene also gets thrown in to commentate for car racing as well. He's a jack of all trades...

Precisely.

Julian Ryder, Toby Moody, Randy Mamola, Nick Harris, Gavin, Jonathan Greene, etc these guys all come of as real fans of motorcycle racing, they are like us, big fans but get the chance to talk about the races on TV. Shaheene comes off as a "professional" commentator, he is fairly knowledgeable about racing but doesn't seem to be "into it". Doubtful he watches Moto GP, 125/250's, WSBK, WSS, etc. Then there is Greg White, please please leave him to do just pit interviews, his race commentating is embarrassing. He knows absolutely nothing about anything but AMA racing, and even that is questionable.

No, Greg ...... White doesn't even know .... about the AMA. He doesn't know .... about English. He doesn't know .... about anything. I don't know why this moron exists in the world except to show what the missing link might have been like in the first stages of evolution from a reptile.

What? You mean SpudTV did show the 125's? Oh ....! Did not know that. I knew they covered all three races back to back last season at Qatar, but could not find any beyond that all season.
