It really sucked watching it at home since both wrecks happened during commercial breaks. I hate TV

You aren't kidding, Fox's coverage was the worst. They come back from commercial and Pedrosa's out. Come back from the next commercial and Rossi's out.

Post-race they talk to Hayden for 30 seconds but not anybody else. Not even the race winner.

And it's all geared toward people that know nothing about the sport (they're not watching), taking breaks from the race to show details about the suits, showing people in the stands, and showing the paddock.

Between all that and the announcers, I think I'm sending Speed Channel a love letter.

I didn't watch, but your description is exactly what I expected from Fox. I really hate Fox sports coverage.

Exactly what I told my hubby you guys would "bitch" about on here. He just doesn't understand. I felt like a 2 year old when White was talking about the suits. Although, it is kind of cool about the air bag. I will give them that.

True, the airbags are cool, I'll give it that. But they've been around... you could clearly see they went off in Lorenzo's suit in his crash at Brno.

Not sure if I'd want them in my suit. The added protection would be great, but the damage to your suit in a low-side could suddenly become significant.

I've only seen those airbags in textile jackets before. In the ones I've seen, they're behind a panel held down with velcro or snaps- so there's no additional damage.

I missed that race/crash.
