I hope they've got some room for more improvement on that '06 RCV. Nicky's almost there.
The camera work (on Speed) was the worst I've ever seen.. Not only did they have few good, close vantage points, but every time something was happening with Rossi at the front, they'd cut to Rossi's pit crew.
Maybe they were braking so late that the camera man was afraid he'd be broadcasting a representation of Mohammed.  |

The announcer said something like "come ON you Japanese people at least show a little emotion"...  |
