i think they take top 38 to the mains and pull 2 out of consi/lcq.

BTW, for those that dont get fuel, the race will be streamed on allisports. which is actually better. no commercials.

Good stuff !!!!

Scoob · May 18, 2012

Did you see they are showing some last year moto coverage on Fuel starting at 6am? Also, just went to the Fuel channel just to check if maybe Time Warner changed the channel line up as I didn't get it before, but it looks like now they offer a Sports Pass where I can get some additional Sports channels, including Fuel for an additional $5.95 a month. Yeah sure, they're gigging me for some more dough, but it's work it. Still thinking about calling Direct TV to see what sort of deal I can get from them. I mean I'm happy with the service, but the cost is getting out of hand... MX is here!!

James is on the gas much more, has much better lines also !! He is going to kill it today !!!

MX315 · May 19, 2012

James is pretty much going to kill it.....If he can last 30 plus 2 but he might have such a lead by then he can back it down. Damn he should have switched bikes 2years ago!
