WTH happened to Pastrana + Windham? They go away for a commercial with them in the lead, come back and their gone. They showed about 2 seconds of Pastranas wreck and nothing about Windham??? Didin't even here anything about Windham until 5 minutes later his name shows up as in 11 th place ,,??:uh: Did Windham run into Travis or what?

Travis was alone when he crashed, no idea what happened to KW. The heat race sure was fun to watch tho :)

Tell ya what, Travis looks better everytime out. Nobody better count the kid out this year, he's looking awefully controlled these days.

Kev and TP blitzed the first heat. Tha was one of the best heat races i've ever seen! Too bad K-Dub fades so quickly and so badly in the mains. Their putrid gear didn't look nearly as bad on the tube as it did in the photo that was posted here last week.

ESPN missed the last lap TP/Ramsey altercation as well. :think

They were having fun in the heat race, guess he got nervous after seeing Travis go down, noone to play with anymore?

If the race is tape-delayed, can't they choose to take a commercial break during a time that nothing is happening? I could understand if this race was aired live... but that seemed to be the worse time to break. :(

JimmyD2; you nailed it. The poor coverage was inexcusable. The guys seem to want us to believe it was a live race.
Did you hear Art thank his track guy (was it Davey Coombs?) for keeping us up with the positions while their on-screen position thingie was out of order? Puh-leeze!! They got all day to fix that thing!
And the endless shots of one rider (Carmichael, McGrath, whoever) riding along filling the frame!! No context, no idea of where the other guys are, just one rider in the frame. Useless!! For an eternity!! Back the camera up so we can see what is really going on!!!
That said, it really is great to have the races on the tube!!
I go to great lengths to keep myself in the dark ALL WEEK so I can enjoy the race on the tube!! Great fun!!

I just watched Rnd.#2 yesterday (Jan 27).
We're about two weeks behind, try living in a shell for that long.
I now know who wins Rnd.#4 because some bloke didnt link properly for a photo. Got the main page instead with " BLah Blah Blah wins" at the top!!!!!
Luv it.:(

Battered Sav; I went to a local race today and the race announcer kept on and on about the winner of round four. He must have been a *%#@* fan or something. And the 125s too!
Oh well; whatchagonnado?
