The Dutch TT is traditionally run on Saturday. It was aired today on CBS at 11:00PDT. My DirecTV season pass for "Motorcycle Racing" picked it up just fine.

For a bit of history on the Dutch TT, see http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2007/Jun/e/n070630b.htm.

I actually never noticed because I watch all of the racing on SUnday and it is usually recorded on Speed TV. Also I hate this deal with CBS Because there are no Re-Runs of any of their races! Did the CBS Announcer still call then Drivers and every now and then try to call the Bikes a Car?
I have Directv also but did not know about their Moto GP Pass. I know they have one for NASCAR but that cost more money and who would pay extra to see NASCAR that was into Bikes? If all of the races are already there what is the deal with the pass?
I do have mine set to record all motorcycle racing but it sure missed this!

Maybe there's no NASCAR in Holland, so people are free to do more appropriate things on Saturday.
There is no MotoGP Pass from DirecTV - I've just configured a season pass on a text string of "motorcycle racing".
Another thing that sucks about CBS's coverage aside from their very beige commentary is the fact that you can't hear the bikes! Talk about a crime against nature.

That is why I subscribe to MotoGP.com, I can watch any race when I want. I got the HiDef package and the picture isn't too bad. Also live timing is kinda cool.

I thought I had all of the Motorcycle racing covered but must not have!
I now realized that until CBS Got in the game it was always shown on Sunday which is why I never thought about it being on Saturday!
Ted, let us face it, you are smarter than all of us!! Remember, you are the first one to see that the Boots were blocking about 2 MM of diameter in the intake of the throttle bodies and no bike has run worse because of using Bear or Muzzy Stacks!
