Ain't 'merkin TV great?

    I won't give away the result just in case anyone hasn't seen it, but the
    live 'Motors TV' feed from the US 'Speed' channel of the Daytona Superbike
    race was a classic when it came to the post-race interviews.

    A 30-60 second 'interview' with each of the podium finishers with about
    3minutes of adverts between each clip. Each time it hit the ads I thought
    "Maybe next time they'll stay on air for longer than it takes for the guy to
    confirm his name and where he's from before an ad break..." But no.

    And maybe it was just coincidence but the lack of shots of Hodgson's bike
    was just what I expected of US TV as they seem to only like showing good ol'
    boys or (current) champions...

    Of course I should whinge too much - at least they showed it live and,
    actually are showing the 200 live now (Thinks to self "Shit. why am I still
    typing on pooter when I should be downstairs watching the racing....?")
