From what they said once you chose your location to watch the race that was it for the day. That and the fact you actually saw mere seconds of each race of the day.
I will miss the video experience from Isle of Mann this year.
The MotoGP races, while not the same environment as the Isle of Mann, were fun to watch in Indianapolis a few years back.
I can fully understand Paul and Jazz's reaction - I'd probably be the same.
I always though that when I watched IoMTT on YouTube - that the spectators who don't have an overview of the whole race only see blips as the riders go by. There is no appreciation of battles like you see on TV. With MotoGP there is more if a chance that a spectator would see more of the race since they are in the grandstands or on the overlooking hills or whatever. Plus there are large TV screens as well.
Personally I have no interest in the IoMTT. I don't even watch it on YouTube. Much prefer MotoGP or World Superbike, but that is just me.
