Believe it or not but Al Jazeera sports is carrying it. On my Dish Network it's listed under BeIn sports. They just had a 2013 Season Preview program that wasn't bad. I don't know if they will be showing WSS or MotoGP though. And AMA? Who knows?

MotoGP will still be on Speed

WSBK just got a deal on beIn, which is the Al Jezera network

Check your cable channels, you may find beIn as a Spanish channel and switch the language

Or, check out beInsports.com - should be 4:30 PM PST

I'm hoping some station over here picks up the Isle of Man TT this year from the Brits. I always get to see it, but weeks later on a computer screen.

 

[Big T]

It turns out that the live stream is on their Facebook page, not the InSport website

Channel 620 in our area on directv if you have it. Can't remember what the Chanel's called.

NOT a spoiler........

NOT a spoiler........

but it was a cracking opening start to the season. 2 very well fought WSBK races and an exciting WSS race as usual.........

(P.S. best wishes to Carlos Checa, have a speedy speedy recovery)

 

[Big T]

I agree

Great racing with actual passes and repasses

No update on Checa, looks like he has a head injury that may knock him out of the championship. He really hit the ground hard

 

[Agemax]

Checa is out of hospital with no serious injuries, he will be back racing at Aragon

He is a tough old dog is Checa, I was at Donnington where he dismounted at Craner big style, he lost his sight for a brief while and had to have his spleen removed. Really nice guy to speak too, one of the old school.

Borgo Panigale, (Bologna, Italy) 28 February 2013 - Engineer, Filippo Preziosi, has communicated his intention to resign from his position at Ducati Motor Holding.

Declaring reasons of poor health related to his particular physical condition, Preziosi’s resignation was accepted by Ducati, saddened and disappointed to lose such an accomplished and strategic member of staff. The company respectfully acknowledges the 45-year old Italian’s decision and thanks him for his significant contribution during his 19 years with Ducati, 12 of which were within Ducati Corse.

Previously occupying the role of General Manager of Ducati Corse, Preziosi, was appointed Director of Research and Development of Ducati Motor Holding at the end of 2012 and was to start his new role after a period of rest. An announcement of the successor to this strategic role, now left vacant by the resignation, will be communicated in due course.

Sad

I too am saddened by his leaving. But I also feel that he was the reason for the stagnant evolving of the MotoGP effort. After five years of everyone saying no front end feel, he gets transfered to the R&D for streetbikes by the new owners. Just my thought.

Ooh, now it looks like I won't be able to watch any World Superbike either. Don't get BeInSports.

Try http://www.beinsport.tv/, they had pretty good coverage of Phillip Island WSBK and WSSS, may have rebroadcasts from that, unsure about future events on the same livestreaming basis.

I was bummed that Speed was not covering WSBK this year as I liked to DVR the races and watch them Sunday night. Comcast offers BEIN in our area but we did not have it. I checked out their website and it looked like we would need to upgrade our package to get BEIN at a cost of about $15 per month. I called instead and a very helpful rep looked at our package and reconfigured it so we would get BEIN and a few additional channels for a bit less than we have been paying. I was pleasantly surprised when I went to record the races. Speed covered the Superbike and Supersport races for one hour each. BEIN broadcasts live coverage for five hours. I'll be watching today and will report back later.

Thanks,
Joe
