God, they have really screwed up AMA superbike! This whole AMA Pro racing show is awful. They don't show until at least the next weekend after the race. AMA coverage is now worse than MotoGP and WSBK in the US. Road Atlanta is this coming weekend. The 2nd race doesn't air until 5/2/09. Who is going to wait that long to look at the results? They can make all the changes they want to the bikes/race formats, but they will never elevate the sport with this late night, month late, post game wrap up crap. There's no reason not to do same day, same weekend or, God forbid, even a little live coverage.

we have similar problems with getting the Australian superbikes on tv in oz, we get edited highlights packages about 4 weeks after the actual races have been run!

Also re the AMA ... Mat Mladin, who writes a column in Australia's biggest bike mag, was complaining that the new AMA rules also suck... That basically hebis now riding a bike that he should be using to ride down to the local cafe fir a latte! Since the powers that be have decided to basically make thecrules that the premier racing class on your country a superstock comp by changing the rules so that very limited modifications can be made to the bikes... In fact, he said that until 3 weeks before daytona, that his bike was still sittingbin a local dealer, and that all that has Bern done to it is basic mods that any of he can do...

The GFC has really hit Bike racing hard!
