I'm watching on OLN here in North America.  We get a 30 minute program with sparse highlights about each category and the 5 or so top performers for the day.
A co-worker with me here in Texas has a friend from New Orleans (originally from Eng.) competing in the bike class.  His name is Paul Broome and he drives the only Honda in the superbike over 450cc class.  He is way down in the running but for a first time privateer, just to finish would be a big win for him. 
It is tough racing for sure but fun to watch and it's really interesting to see fellow racers stop to help those who have crashed or broken down.  I thought you only see that in the movies.
