No respect to motercycle fans

I was watching AMA supersports race yesterday and speed channel suddenly switched to NASCAR preview interview in the middle of the race. When the program was back to the race, the race was over! There may not be as many motorcycle fans as Nascars, but cutting the race in the middle for mere preview interview is so unprofessional. I thought inintially it was breaking news, but it was just bunch of meaningless interviews!!

that's how fans are treated in the us.

Does US motorcycle racing even get much coverage outside the US, particularly the domestic Superbike championship?

I get some AMA supercross on ESPN Australia, but nothing else.

AMA superbike is quite fun to watch. although nicky on honda is dominating, it's usually close race.

We get the AMA series in the UK, its shown on Motors tv.
I guess that Motors tv is the same as Speed tv in the states.
Anyone see the Fast Bikes show on the Extreme channel?

I wouldn't mind getting coverage of the British Superbike Championship here in Australia, but unfortunately no-one shows it unless an Aussie happens to be winning it

AMA is the best in my opinion, but I can only compare with wsbk as we get no British coverage.

I'm sure if you saw any British Superbike racing you'd get hooked!! It's fantastic (with no banked tracks,except Rockingham and I don't like it now cos of what happened to Steve Hislop!!!)
