Be that Superbikes, Formula1 or any other motor related.. It's all incredibly dull.
Most people find cycling incredibly dull, so I wouldn't use that line of reasoning.

Nobody are live yet, are they?

I would be quite angry if Eurosport stopped broadcasting cycling in the last 5k of a race. They don't do it with cycling, so they shouldn't do it with superbikes.

Still watching motorbikes go round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and roundand round and round and round and roundand round and round and round and roundand round and round and round and roundand round and round and round and roundand round and round and round and roundand round and round and round and roundand round and round and round and roundand round and round and round and roundand round and round and round and roundand round and round and round and roundand round and round and round and roundand round and round and round and roundand round and round and round and round...

What do you think? Priorities at Eurosport: cycling < anything else.

People who watch cycling will watch the race.

People who watch superbikes are already watching the superbikes.

Remember the fuss when VS or whoever it was cut the end of the Tour of California for hockey? Superbikes fans would have every right to be annoyed if their coverage was cut short before the finish to go live to something where there's still at least a couple of hours left to go.

Eurosport's priorities are not alienating those viewers they do have, since they don't have the biggest budget in the world. They're still providing plenty of cycling coverage, but this way they're not alienating another key audience.
