I finally had the opportunity to watch MotoGP on an HDTV yesterday,
and all I can say is what a waste. Despite the fact that SPEED was
broadcasting in 720p, the original signal appeared to have been an
upconverted 520i PAL or 480i NTSC. The picture quality was abysmal
and looked far better on an older non-HD television. Before you ask,
the HD television I was watching the race on yesterday was most
definitely not the issue, because the previously broadcast Brazilian
F1 GP was crystal clear.

That's why I use the x264 captures of the Euro channels.

Are these available to anyone for the taking? If so, where?

Try some of the torrent sites around.
The captures are popular.

i agree, the speed quality is awful. my TV setup is pretty sweet, i
can utterly detect bad audio and video, and speedtv delivers both...
