I live in Boston, MA and am a big MotoGP fan, but due to the fact that cable sucks around here, I can't seem to get it, except for reruns here and there...
I really want to watch the upcoming Le Mans race...

-Does anyone know if Comcast offers some sort f Pay-per-View thing where I can get the race?? I remember the Speed channel talking about possibly carrying it, but I don't get that channel so I can't verify if they actually do....

-Just curious is anyone watches MotoGP live in the US, and how you do it....

-Thanks in advance!!!!  :)

Does is cost anything to stream live races off of motogp.com??  I figured you had to be a paying member which I'd like to register for anyway.....

-I'll go check it out now, I didn't realize they streamed the races live on the website...

-Thanks!!   [thumbsup]

It does but I don't get it....I spliced off of the main cable feed going into my apt. bulding  ;) so I get basic + a few other channels, but not Speed.... :-\

We bought a package from motogp.com and it has been great.  The first race of the season was a little grainy, not very clear, but they have made some changes to the site and it has been fantastic.  We even got a cable so we can hook up the computer to the surround sound so we can watch the races on our big screen TV.  :)  You also have access to qualifying, pole, the race (obviously), and interviews.  Much more than you would get to see on Speed.

have they made it possible to go on the site to start the video without first seeing the results?  Spoilers were a major problem in the past.

Bout frigin time!

I find it hard to see a race from the gp site without a spoiler sentence or picture ruin it.  Other than that, the gp site is better now that they fixed a few things and brought back the archives  ;D ;D ;D

The torrents are also good, not as quick as the gp site since you need to wait for someone to post then you have to download, but still a good option.  The site listed above "racing-underground" is THE place to go for all your racing fetish including gp.
