Good news. I hope they do it right and try to bring AMA racing back to what it once was. Some of this also depends on the AMA. They need to start put faces with the names and get more people interested in motorcycle racing.

As a side note I was impressed with Speeds extended programming for the Moto GP racing at COTA this passed weekend.

Maybe things are looking up for motorcycle racing in the US.

Fingers crossed

I understand and share your concerns but to be accurate the AMA isn't involved with Superbike/Sportbike racing anymore. Those entities have been owned by the Daytona Motorsports Group (NASCAR people) for several years now.

They (Roger Edmonton (sp?)) totally screwed it up the first year or two but it is now under different/good management (though its still DMG) and it's actually good racing now. We just need good TV coverage with proper rider "introductions" to have it bloom again.

Yes SpeedTV did an excellent job last Sunday with MotoGP. And yes #2, my fingers (and toes) are crossed as well.

I don't see this as such a good thing. The coverage might improve, but CBSsports is in a premium package with my cable service. I can't afford to upgrade. On top of this, NBC moved Formula One from Speed to NBCsports i the same package, which means I can't watch that either. I still have Indy Car. No, wait, they moved that to NBCsports too.

They may provide better coverage, but it's no good if you can't watch it.

Or not

I must say the F1 coverage on CBSSports is far inferior to that on Speed, largely due to the inclusion of Leigh Diffey on the broadcast team. He seems to know little or nothing about F1, so he announces the race like it is NASCAR. Davis and Steve try to provide some useful information, but Leigh doesn't seem to know that he is making a fool of himself, and keeps yammering on. Depending on who broadcasts the bike races, it may be good, or not.
