Picked up my MotoGP Video Season Pass today....

[axiom-r]

The MotoGP riders will be testing in Sepang this weekend and into the first few days of February!  MotoGP 2012 is not so far off!

I was disappointed with SPEED's coverage in 2011 and frustrated by all the commercials.  It takes waaaay too long for them to "get back to the world feed" and by the time they did we ended up seeing far to much of the passing in replay only and not while in the heat of the action.  Finally, Ralph Sheheen drives me freaking nuts. If he would simply say LORENZO instead of LORENTHO that would do much for his effort in making the jump from Car guy to Motorcycle guy.

So- for $99.95 euro I have season access to all MotoGP videos including qualifying, all three classes and choices such as viewing the race entirely from on bike cameras...  Most critically, I can watch the races live or later when I am awake.  I am planning to watch the full qualifying session followed by Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP on Sunday- could be 6 hours of viewing each race day....  This also resolves my question of going to Laguna Seca to be at the track but missing viewing most of the racing action. Now I can attend the race and watch it in my own time...

I am super excited about the Video Pass!! Check out this shot of Rossi and Hayden two up on a new 1000cc GP bike I think - with knobbies and spikes on snow!!!
