    Default Did anyone else think this was a little strange?

    Watched the race on sunday and and there was no coverage of any of the U.S. riders. It looks like Ben and Nicky had a pretty good race with each other and at one point were fighting for top 5 spots but they never showed any of it. They showed what was going on behind them and in front of them but not them. Also nothing about Colin even when he crashed, no replay and no info about what happened. Is it just me or did it seem odd?
    Was a good race though.

    Jus got to watch all the races from this past weekend, and the lack of coverage of our Boys really sucked, I was a little pissed when they kept going to the back of the pack everytime one of those guys made a pass, but no coverage of any of ours, oh well, somtimes even our riders aren't anyones favorites either......

    I find they normally only show the riders in 1st 2nd and the normal chasing pack for 5th.

    Depends on the circuit really, and who the person aiming the camera looks at, or is dictated to capture.
    In some circuits they are only interested in 'rossi' 'stoner' 'lorenzo' 'danni'.
    Then in others you get good coverage of everyone.
    Then in some its always who's in first.

    I missed the race (was hungover) where was it?

    EDIT.
    Just watched it, was a good race at le man.
    Shame about the ride through penalty though, im not a pedrosa fan lol.
    I see Nicky has changed his race number.

    Nice work from Vale, Dovi, and Stoner

    The crash with Colin, our commentators reconed it was something electrical gone wrong.
    definately saw sparks...
