True, but at least the sport and the event are getting broader coverage by being shown on ABC.

Re: Laguna Seca MotoGP to be broadcast on ABC
I think is it BS cause they are going to wait until the 30th to show the race.

Who that is interested will wait that long and avoid the results?

By waiting a week to show it they are going to get bad viewership and will not cover any more races.

Oh Hell. It was bad enough to see ABC cover the event. Now they're holding it off a whole week!
I was figuring that not only will we miss the racing durring commercials, we are also going to have to endure "human ****in' interest" stories while they should be showing the race.

Last I checked Speed does not show any MotoGP races live. You can watch it live on the website though Plus all the FPs and QP and all the interviews

Have you ever watched an entire race on a 3"x3" sceen?
BTW, I didn't realize that ABC simply bought the rights to a rerun. I feel better knowing speed will still broadcast it.

I watch the races on a 19" LCD monitor live via MotoGP.com. Best viewing is through RP in Theater mode. A lof of people don't like RP but you can still watch the WMP feed fullscreen as well. No commercials and you get to listen to Nick Harris fill you in on all the latest race info prior to the race as well as interviews of almost all the riders. Watching qualifying live kicks ass too.
