I'm ashamed that i haven't visited a road race...yet, but it's gotta be the pinnacle of bike racing..or at the very least in it's purist form.

Thanks for that, as usual the 250 race was pure edge of the seat action! same bout the lad who sadly lost his fight for life.

I watched the first one, and was surprised at the quality of the coverage and commentating. Top stuff all the way through.

One thing I can't stand about MotoGP is that awful, awful man Charlie Cox. He has nothing to say worth saying, misses all the important on-track action, interrupts Steve Parrish a lot, often makes snide remarks about Parrish's opinions and is, imho, an arrogant and boring loudmouth.

The NW200 commentating is not only more professional, it's a damn site more interesting and informative.

WSB and BSB commentators are the best Funny and decent

I watched this the other night, some really good racing, much more exiting to watch than the likes of Moto gp.

Those 250's bloody fly too!

Perhaps I'm a little behind the times, but the Beeb never mentioned that some riders were using a thumb brake to stop wheelies!
