Big weekend for LIVE racing on TV

[R6_kid]

Sunday night at 8:45pm there is LIVE MotoGP from Mugello on Skysport 3
This will see Rossi trying to maintain his good run at Mugello with another win

Monday morning at 5:35am there is LIVE World Superbikes from Salt Lake City on Skysport 3
Pretty much a new track for all riders, it'll be interesting to see who comes out on top - will it be the Ducatis?

Gonna be an awesome long weekend :banana:

Mod's - please keep this in general bike ravings. A lot of people don't venture into the race forum and may otherwise miss out on knowing about the screening of these events!

Thats awesome, especially not having to worry about going to work the next day half asleep.

Cheers for the heads up mate.

Ya bastard - just rub in it that I do not have sky. Stinking SKY pulled it off Prime last year. I have not seen a MOTO GP race since.

Dam I enjoyed them too.

Go to a decent bar and stay the night? lol

That or rent a motel room that has sky? :bleh:

Did I mention I'm watching it on a 40inch LCD TV with surround sound? :devil2:

sweet....

looong weekends are the shizzle:niceone:

[R6_kid]

Those in Auckland wanting a place to watch - I may be able to help out. Can accomodate an extra 2-3 people comfortably, after that you're sleeping on the floor.

Application by PM.

Whether intentionally or not, Sky have put them both on the same channel. That means I'll be able to video them both off the Saturn box on a 6-hour tape, as I'll be away on the Sunday & Monday. Well done, Sky, and a lot better than switching World SBK between 2 channels halfway through the night, as they often do.

PS: I'm trying to feel sympathy for people who don't have Sky or Saturn, really I am, but with little success so far.

Go Whore-Hey!!!!!!!!!

Go Whore-Hey!!!!!!!!!

Rossi is gonna take Whore-GAY and his lollipop antics back to school for some learning!

I'm picking Rossi, WhoreGay then Thumbelina. Collins will be up there again, and Hayden might stick his nose in. And Stoner... depends if he can get through puberty in time for the race and get some testosterone going for a good fight.

It would be great if some of these events hit on a Friday or Saturday night & make them part of a big night on the piss! Ah well... I'm really looking forward to the GP

Unfortunately friday is practice, saturday morning is practice and saturday arvo is qualifying followed by racing on Sunday. Thats how its always been.

Being at the 'start' of the world in terms of time we almost always get the coverage late on Sunday or sometime on Monday.

If you want it to be at a decent time of day then pay for tickets and go watch it in person! :rolleyes:

It is unfortunate, and if I was a rich man I would follow them round the globe...

On a good note, I rarely work Mondays, so maybe I should just put more emphasis on Sunday night drinking? (I've usually redlined Fri & Sat, neededing to damage control Sun though...)

i was in Lake Como several years back when SBK was at Monza (which is near Milan, which is near Como)

put me in your luggage next time c00nt!

Dunno if anyone else without sky has thought about it but MOTOGP.COM stream the race live.

If it's in the southern hemisphere the races are usually on early enough that you don't have to stay up till 3 am to watch. I usually just pay the 7 euro option that lets you see the qualifying session the warm up and the race. not a bad option in my opinion. Beats paying for sky.

Just an idea

The first SBK race is live at 6.30am on sky sport 3
The second SBK race is live at 10.00am on sky sport 2
I usually tape the races too, was highly pissssst :Playnice:at sky when they switched channels half way through the 600 super sport race and ended up with a bloody soccer match instead.
Go Haga:cool:
