1.3 second lead.. better focus on the battle for 5th. Anything over a second is boring.

Did you guys catch the sizzle reel they played during the broadcast that was just all the moments RC yelled out loud? “OHHH!” “OH WOW!” “HIS BIKE BROKE!” “OHHHHH!” “HOLD ON TO IT!” just over and over lmao 😭😭😭

I wonder what the stat is on new viewers each week. The way they dumb the show down like we’re all sitting at home eating crayons is pretty wild. Also the Ryder D tuff block incident was not worthy of two back to back replay at the start of 250 moto 3.

You have to remember that this all comes from the top, ABC/NBC etc executives do not understand motor racing and never have. All you have to do is watch old Indy 500 broadcasts to see all the "human interest" stories which they think will attract more viewers.Just look at Rick Mears battling Michael Andretti at one of the best 500's ever and they always show the wives in the pit box when they are going wheel to wheel at 200+. Do you see Michael Jordons wife when he is shooting free throws? They just do not understand motorsport, period. So Will whatever her name is just doing what the bosses tell her to. Justin Brayton does a great job analyzing the sections in practice and it would be great to see him break this down in the booth between motos. 

Rule 1, do not alienate your fan base!  They also seem to be paid by the word. Sometimes just STFU! But that is the day and age we live in now. Non stop dribble 24/7. I can't even pump gas without being assaulted by a screen trying to sell me something.

But, I do have a mute buttton and it's nice to see what was once only on wide world of sports once or twice a year on every week. Now we just need to get some people that can talk when needed.

Same thing with the interviews they did, while we were watching the first practice 

 

I haven’t jumped on this bandwagon yet, but they sure making it easy to get on board.

Between stuff like this, their inability to have the on-screen action match the commentary during the races (especially at the end of a main)…countless “break-aways” from the action at simply the WRONG TIME…some of the overly repetitive and un-necessary bad “color commentary”…

Yup, me too. I’m beginning to understand the constant complaints.

Interview with NFL players cut short to pan the camera to a guy stuck in the mud.

At least a guy stuck in the mud is more moto than a NFL player?

Why do they insist on placing interviews during the damn qualifying? I mean my god, how dumb can you possibly be? We have tons of time around the qualifying. Let us watch rip laps without a stupid interview thrown in

I would love to hear Peacocks explanation of how a “casual fan” actually finds and ends up watching RDL but we can help them with the answer, THEY DON’T.  Please stop building the show on that premise and show the dam qualifying. Take the energy wasted on the fluff stuff and put it into bettering your staff to recognize and follow the important action that is happening on the track. Use the downtime between qualifiers to do your fuck upping on the silly ass “segments”.  That’s my weekly drop on the once again “nothing improved” broadcast.

Ok, that was 100% unnecessary.

I’m talking about the Spanish broadcasters at the start of the race. Whose idea was that ?

I skipped the commercial and came to the 250 LCQ being called in Spanish.  It really threw me off.

At least for the "A" qualifiers (2) 250 and (2) 450, that's 10 min each or 40min total over the 150 min RDL. Yes, please just show the qualifying. If it is deemed necessary to have interviews, push them to B or C qualifying if schedule demands they can't run sequentially. 

Sometimes I am driving home from riding on Saturday and can't watch the screen, and am frustrated to hear an effin interview when I'd like the audio to talk about qualifying that's on the screen.

Another shit show of a production with the cameras on crack. I love how they utilize a drone inside of a stadium with less quality viewing of the race and overall picture quality is down compared to a standard camera. Yet, we get three effing different shots of 1 corner. Meanwhile lets show Justin Hill in the heat while NOBODY was talking about him and a real race was happening in front. Nails on a chalk board every week to me now. The spanish thing was a whole new level of idiotic

At this point I'll take the Spanish broadcasters, at least I will learn some new words in a different language.
