NO idea how they landed those jobs.
I hated how White and Russel did Laguna this past weekend. Being forced to watch "shitville Man" call Moto GP is just wrong. Whenever my mom walks in when I'm watching an AMA race, she yells "OMG how did he land that job." I tell her that he is Mr Daytona, so apparently he is qualified to be an announcer. She just shivered and said that he sounds like Deputy Dog with a mouth full of shit....

To me, Toby Moody and Julian Ryder are the voices of MotoGP. They usually miscall something at least once a race, but you also get gems like:

Toby: Dani Pedrosa [weighs] 49 kilos!

Julian: My lord, I've had bigger dogs.
Toby and Julian are good, not sure I like them as much as Gavin and Nick. I always like that third guy that is behind Toby and Julian, who chimes in every so often about mechanical and technical stuff. He always makes me laugh.
