Now is the summer
of our discontent
made glorious winter
by this Isle of Man....

Well alrighty then;  first broadcast on the HD Theater channel of the 2010 Isle of Man TT is tomorrow night (Monday 8/23) from 8pm to 9pm.  It is coverage of the practice sessions for all the races that were held this year in mid-July.  There's also a re-run of the same program from 3am - 4am on Tuesday morning (8/24).

Then on Monday late-night/early Tuesday morning August 30 from 3am - 4am there's coverage of the Superbike race.  There appears to be no re-broadcast of this race in August.

This is a good website for all televised things race-related:

One thing you can say about the IOM TT: it's not boring. I wonder if anyone is producing HD coverage of the NorthWest 200 for TV in the UK? I'd probably have to watch that through my fingers!

I was starting to think I had missed a World SBK race weekend this month, so I checked the website for the schedule. No, they already had the August race. It was at Silverstone on Aug 1st. I do vaguely remember seeing it. It's been three weeks, and my recollection was probably overshadowed by that exciting Brno MotoGP race. Since they start WBSK in February, and have only 13 races a year as compared to 18 in MotoGP, they are down to around one race a month by Fall.

So, there are 3 WBSK races and 8 MotoGP races left in 2010, right? Jeez, the championship suspense is killing me. Well, at least these parades on the international circuits make the AMA races look more interesting than usual.
