Default Catch the Eslick pass at Laguna?

Dear Lord Eslick is fucking badass. The outside pass at Laguna that overtook Disalvo and Beaubier while sliding the whole bike at the same time Beaubier was sliding the bike was absolutely awesome racing.

They seriously need to ditch all this electonic traction crap and let the tires and wheels spin.

The pass is at 2:55-3:05.

Those are the same hacks that do the commentating for US WSBK races on Speed. Much better to watch those races on mute.

NO idea how they landed those jobs.

The English guys do, except when they race in the US. Then we get the c-squad commentators.

I usually watch the BBC or Eurosport coverage of MotoGP and WSBK, so I haven't heard Speed coverage in years. Wowsa.

It isn't MotoGP (or Moto2) without listening to Gavin Emmit and Nick Harris call the race.

I don't know how you guys watch MotoGP on Speed...their coverage/commentating sucks BALLS. Gavin and Nick conduct all the post podium interviews....Gavin is best friends with Jorge....they both have all the good behind the scenes info about the riders...you're missing out if you don't hear them.
