Moto GP Question

[Spencer Mulcahy]

I put a post on hear a couple of months ago about this it is crap that it is going to BBC, the 125 and 250 races where on the red button today but the commentators where worse than Charlie Cox and that Truck racer. They are allowed 20 sets off tyres per race weekend and 150 sets for testing over the year. The only good thing with the BBC (very minor thing) is that there are no adverts.

TBH, you could get the Queen to commentate on the MotoGP; id still watch and listen.....

But the thing that really p#sses me off is this whole 'slowing things down' campaign.

Seemingly the riders arent exactly extatic about it and want the class to be faster, the viewers want things to be faster, so why do Dorma feel compelled to try and make it rubbish?

I know, as a die hard Vale fan, that watching Casey win and romp home miles ahead is quite boring, but for me the excitement is coming from mid pack now. Watching the likes of Nicky, George, Colin, Dovi and JT battling it out is excitment enough, but with all this new tyre cack that will dissolve too.

Maybe they will make a new channel called bbc sport or something for next year as they have so many sports things on.

Read in the papers that the FIA aren't keen on having Brundle on TV due him slating the FIA over the McLaren / Ferrari scandle

well, how to ruin my day.... reading this thread.... no more GP on Eurosport... that means no repeats during the rounds.... no full coverage, no cracking commentary or Mamola prowling the pits.... If the BBC don't do the same coverage, that will be a big BIG loss...

I did read an article somewhere that said the same thing had happened in france (like with the BBC) and they have agreed a deal with eurosport france to carry on running as per normal. So there could be a possibility that the bbc might do something similar with british eurosport. As Dorna have said that the BBc must make the same amount of coverage that is current available to everyone. It's no good putting it on the interactive as you can't record off it.

Also i beleave 600's will be coming in 2010.

It would seem the majority of people, myself included, like Eurosport's coverage, so make sure you all sign the petetion in the above link

Unfortunatly my flat doesnt have Eurosport (the flat only has freeview), whereas my parents house has Eurosport.

For the likes of me im glad that BBC have (potentially) more coverage.
