Well, it's not at all that they're inferior; it's just that as a group they're nothing startling.

Great effort by Spies in the second WSB race yesterday. His start lap was better than anyone else's, by miles, and he fought off the challenges very well.

 

MotoGP was the most exciting racing on the planet until they ruined it by going to the current 800cc formula.
The last couple of years have seen WSB return to exciting racing after a few years in the doldrums. This year promises to be no exception.

 

Reading opinion from the rest of the English speaking world, I don't get the impression that anybody thinks American riders are inferior. It's just that after Americans dominating for a decade and a half from the late seventies on, riders from the rest of the First World have caught up. Good on them. Makes for good racing.

 

You can watch the race for free here : http://www.worldsbk.com/pubb_EN/ (sbk TV),

enjoy

 

Hey kwad9, I can only see highlights to watch there, I know I am retarded but how do I watch the whole race; I hate waiting til tuesday!

 

i like race II better !

tim

 

Yeah, exactly.

The more variety the better: Kenan Sofoglu from Turkey in 600 SuperSport for example (where he is already back to doing better than he did in WSB).

I can't wait until some of the talented riders from SE Asia get a push to try the bigger classes. And just imagine how it will be if the motorcycle industry in China really gets into this stuff.

 

click on the "550k" just under the "full race" logo ... or try these link http://www.worldsbk.com/pubb_EN/popup.php?id=306

Maybe there is some restriction for american user... but here in france I can watch all the races on demand and even live... for free

 

yeah we're screwed here in the US because of Speed TV who broadcasts the races on a delay. The SBK website won't let us view the races until some time after they've aired on Speed.

So basically motorcycle racing fans in the US get fucked left and right... Shitty coverage and you can't even watch the coverage that's offered from other sources.

I heard u can trick the SBK site by using a proxy server though.

 

OK I understand now ...

Maybe by these link:

very pretty "YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO VIEW THIS CONTENT"

 

Argg.... sorry for you

 

COME ON!! SOMEONE on this forum has to know how to get that race! Thank God I was called into work tonight or my wife would've had a rough night listening to my ranting!!(ALL HELL WOULD BREAK LOOSE AROUND HERE). As it stands all I can do is come on this forum and TYPE ALOT OF ALL CAPS TO SHOW MY ANGER!!!!

 

i saw on another forum that you could use a proxy server that's located in, let's say Europe to view the races on SBK. I tried to do that but it didn't work. I'm probably doing something wrong so if anybody knows how to do it I'm sure we'd all like to hear. that's all i know

 

torrents... torrents... torrents

why am I such a rar ***? I can't figure that sheet out...

 

I watched both races on Tuesday, BOTH were great. Spies ran off the track TWICE in race 1 and still came in 16th. Haga ran a great race in both.

And in race 2, how can anyone on the forum not like the fact that an American, a V twin, and a Honda were all on the podium, in that order.

 

Way to go Ben!! Throwin' down in OZ!!

 

Great racing I thought, very enjoyable. I can't wait for the rest of the season, Haga and Spies will be duking out often I bet. Haga can be near unstoppable sometimes, and already he's making the transition to Duc nicely based on his performance. A little more seat time and I'll bet he'll be on top often. The beemer did OK the first race...I forget how it did the second.

I can watch it all on SBK's sight now, so those of you who missed it/couldn't stream it before should be OK now. It gave me the error at first saying I wasn't authorized, so I searched wsbk in yahoo, followed the link, clicked on the 550K stream under full race, and it worked great. Both races were watchable on the site.
