    Speed Sucks.... Still

    Ok... here's a direct quote from their page... http://www.speedtv.com/programs/daytona-bike-week/


    • Daytona Bike Week
    • Tune in for LIVE coverage of Daytona Bike Week. You won’t want to miss this!
      Coverage starts Saturday 3/17/12 at 1:30p ET with AMA Superbike Race 1 followed by the Daytona 200 at 2:30p ET and then AMA Superbike Race 2 at 5p ET.





    First of all, the 17th is SATURDAY!! According to my DirecTV schedule, they are showing Superbike Race 1 on FRIDAY the 15th, and the rest of the races SUNDAY the 17th. WTF is going on?!!

    Even Friday is not live, the official AMA schedule given to riders and crews says Superbike race 1 is at 4PM ET, Speed is airing it at 6PM ET

    Yeah, I read "Daytona Bike Week - Daytona 200" as not really being the same as "AMA Daytona 200". In half an hour, they can jam other useless shit in there and only show the highlights from the actual race

    Where can I watch ama superbike and sportbike? Looks like speed only showed race 1 from daytona and they are going to show 1 hour of the 200?

    Speed has something called "Daytona Bike week" showing Sunday at 11:30 am. Not even sure if that's going to entail racing footage.

    Then it looks as if they show AMA Pro Racing at Sunday 7:00 - 8:00pm.

    Or just get on Speed2.com

    Hmmmm.....
    WSBK races now on BeIN Sport. (Comcast channel 411 in Boulder) BeIN sport had 5 hours of coverage at AU. F1 now on NBC Sports (Comcast channels 73, 689 in Boulder)

    Thanks, I'll have to look into it. I'm sure I don't have those channels, and I'm sure Comcast wants a ton of extra $$ to get them.

    SPEED, you suck.

    The package that adds BeIN will cost you $9.99/month extra. You most likely already have NBC Sports .

    Other than WSBK when its live, BeIN has nothing but lots and lots of soccer, which i am sure you LOVE
