Ryan Villopoto's Race To Capture MXGP Championship Gets Improved Televised Coverage For US And Canadian Fans
Are you bummed that Ryan Villopoto isn't contending the 2015
Supercross season and possibly a shot at another championship? Are
you sad Villopoto announced this will be his last year racing? Are
you happy that RV is racing the MXGP series for the 2015 season and
has a very strong chance of finally bringing an MXGP championship
back to America after 20 years? It's all kind of bittersweet
right?
Well, the good news is-actually there's two pieces of good news-the
first is that CBS Sports Network recently announced that for 2015,
American and Canadian motocross enthusiasts will be treated to even
better coverage of the MXGP series than last year's programming.
Starting on February 28th, with the first race of the
season in Qatar, race fans will be treated to same-day delayed
coverage of each race.
The second piece of good news is that the final round will take
place on American soil at the famed Glen Helen Raceway, with CBS
Sports broadcasting the entire event live. This means hardcore
dirt bike
fans can save some cash from traveling abroad and either make the
pilgrimage to Southern California to watch the crowning event in
person or watch from the comfort of their living room with no
delay.
With the start of the series just over
a week away, excitement is running high as fans from all over the
world are biting at the bit to see just how well 9 time US champ
Villopoto and his Kawasaki KX450F-SR will compete against reigning
MXGP Champion, Antonio Cairoli (he has eight world titles), and his
KTM 350
SX-F. This is bound to be some of the best MXGP racing we've
seen in years.
