No MotoGP on Speed????

[fire_strom]

Moto GP starts in a couple of weeks but speedchannel shows no listings and a search of the program schedule comes up with no hit. Are we SOL?

[Mr Head]

It appears only the current week can be searched for topic or program. Real helpful that.

[fire_strom]

if you search by keyword it will go a few weeks out. check nascar, it shows listings till the 25th.

Why are you watching it on Speed anyway? No commercials on MotoGP.com.

[fire_strom]

It all depends on how close you sit...

[The Cheat]

Speed vision has pretty much sold out to Nascar I think they will show the highlights of MotoGP, but I not sure they will have full coverage.

Off subject.... May be going to Moab again in march!

I think you guys are getting a little panicky. I've heard nothing about any change in MotoGP coverage. We're still a month before the first race.

Actually Speed's coverage of motorcycle racing has been fairly constant over the period of Nascar expansion. Nascar has come at the expense of stuff like boat racing. My gripe is not with too much Nascar but too much Pinks and Superbike and others of this ilk.

i did wig out a bit when i saw on the motogp web site the first race was feb 24 but i see now that it's an "official test", not a race. we're good, i'll save my panic for later.

+1---we sadly lost TWT to the big belly Bubba harley world, torquing with a bottle of red and boobs of michelle, but that is still motorcycle and not nascar and they do still cover the races with a number of airdates. When there are enough motogp fans to pay the bills, we will get a premier billing. But wanting no commercials and expecting the world is unreasonable. Try PBTV and see how many motorized sporting events those turtle sniffers will give ya!

I'm with you on this one. As much as I dislike nascar complaining to speed about it is a waste of your time. But these manufactored silly shows like Pinks etc. are a waste of everyone's time. They must have a market though, for the white trailer trash set you talk about taking away his car and he's all over it apparently. JT

Pinks has been wildly popular and Superbikes viewership is 2x 2WT because these types of shows transcend the narrow audience of true motorcycle enthusiasts and catch a much wider non-motorcycling audience. As the Nascar folks know, it's not the bikes, it's the people. Speed simply sees the gold mine of American Chopper and is following the money.

Probably true and very sad. I never thought I'd miss greg white and twt. But the superbikes is literally worthless. Couldn't watch if for more than 60 seconds and never been back. It's become a poseurs world. JT
