Once again, I’m totally confused as to where to watch motocross. I think I have to watch the first motos online somewhere?? Then watch local broadcasting at midnight to see the interviews. Then the second moto will highlights will be shown on the following Friday on the Oprah network. I HATE SPEED TV TO DEATH!!!!!
This is why I watch my motoGP on my computer
