    Because if they did it would show how lame the Superbike racing really is compared to Buckets

    Wow that was put together poorly.
    I hate how every 'episode' jumps alot of laps poorly, could at smoothen it out somehow.

    Oh well at least there was some coverage on telly.

    Next year I think everyone should be encouraged to run Go Pros and submit there footage at the end of each meeting or try get the organisers to supply the SD Cards.

    They do pretty good with the limited cameras they have

    The blurb said highlights from Taupo. You cant fit a whole days racing into a 30 minute time slot on TV.
    It appears Coronation St has higher ratings and appeal to advertisers than top level motorcycle racing.

    Yeap for sure, looked like there was only two cameras...
    I still think they shoudn't try shove 4 races into 30 minutes (they summed up the last superbike race in 4 minutes), it becomes mega choppy and looks unprofessional.
    2 races per 30 minutes works better like they have done in the past.
