Moto GP R.I.P

Millions of fans to be denied an informormed enthusiasts view of GP motorcycle racing from the best commentary team in the world.

The DORNA excecutives who devised this strategy must be feeling really chuffed with themselves.

The BBC will make sure that the Moto GP viewing figures follow world share prices in freefall with its lack lustre presentation and reduced coverage.

Thanks Eurosport for many happy years. I will miss you.

Completely gutted
i can't believe there getting rid of toby, julian and randy with the races getting more boring they definatly made it 100 x more enjoyable something REALLY needs to be changed.

I remember Carl Fogarty Making the comment, ''only real bike fans watch Eurosport''. To lose Toby,Jules and Randy would be a huge loss and a very sad end to an unmatched era.

this is indeed sad sad news... the BBC just doesn't show the same level of commitment that Eurosport does towards MotoGP coverage.

Gutted.

Unbelievable. I have only just discovered this on the eve of the 2009 season.
I have been forced to return to Australia due to a paragliding injury, and the local broadcaster here, Channel 10, has to be the worst broadcaster I have had to endure. They do not show all of the races, do not provide a replay broadcast when they choose not to broadcast live, and their advert breaks are lengthy and frequent. Not even having Daryl Beattie as an expert commentator saves them from censure.
In 25 years of viewing Eurosport provided the best coverage bar none.
I urge all to write to Gavin Emmet at media@dorna.com and express your rage.
Idiots!

It just isn't the same is it!
I've certainly not enjoyed the season as much as I should have so far and that's due in no small part due to the commentary.
Ok it's not as bad as we all feared, we still get the 125 and 250's and we still get coverage of qually but even Eurosport arn't packaging it as they were. Sunday on Eurosport used to be totally dominated by Moto GP, now it plays second fiddle to beach vollyball or something. Very sad.
