AMA, F1, etc... they all put me to sleep.l
I don't argue that. Some of the WSBK races had some awesome midpack battles though. The kind you just don't see in MotoGP because you're not "supposed to fight that hard for 5th"(1). But as for AMA, I watch turn 1, maybe the first few laps, then stop the DVR and do the "Skip to End" function and see who won. I don't watch any other motorsports on TV.
1 - last season Rossi did the typical 'fuck the launch, climb from the back of the pack' thing. Melandri held him up so long he never had a shot at getting first. Rossi whined, saying Melandri never should have fought so hard to hold on to that position. And really, MotoGP doesn't typically have great mid-pack battles. If they're not fighting for the podium then a lot of times they're not fighting at all.
