MOTOGP » Eurosport loses MotoGP

I agree with all the posts above really
Dorna have done what the Cricket Board did a few years ago after the Ashes and sold to the highest bidder without a care in the world for the fans and what they get.
They will have been sold on the "Everyone can get BBC idea so peopla like Alice,Rizla,Marlboro can be in your living rooms on a Sunday"
What they dont realise is that most of the people will not watch the GP race at 11.30 in the evening when it has been rescheduled becasue the F1 was on.
And the really sad part for me is the huge amount of news and snippets you got from the guys in the 125/250/GP practice sessions, it is wonderful.
BBC team are far more rigid they dont have laughing fits!

Awful, awful, awful news - Jimmy Mansi bemoans the fact that FP2 wasn't shown recently and thinks its good its moved from Eurosport - What planet are you on - Do you really think you're ever going to get to see it again now the Beeb have it?? I loved Stavros as a rider when I was a kid but a decent commentator he ain't...I didn't like Cox when he only commentated on the cars - his complete lack of knowledge regarding motorcycle racing irritates the hell out of me.

Everyone should e-mail the addresses provided by Danum - The money will be in the bank by now but we've gotta show our discontent.

This is a complete disaster. I watched the BBC''s coverage from Donington as I was away from home and could not get access to Eurosport. With the exception of Steve Parish the presenters were poor (and ignorant of the sport) and the programme as a whole was dreadful. Eurosport offers an intelligent view for a knowledgeable converted audience whereas the beeb aimed its broadcast at Joe Public and his missus. Why couldn''t things be left alone? No more 125 and 250 coverage. No more prac & qual. No more Can nothing be done about this?

*** Newsflash ***

Casey stoner needed the Satellite bandwidth to upload to NASA for his advanced traction control on the Ducati for 2009. Only kidding, that's a fantasy.

But with this news, we have a reality of a nightmare - for all of Europe!

Would the BBC ever be politically incorrect like Randy/Toby? Nope. It'll be good old British stiff upper lip - boring and worthless to watch!!!!

I hope that I still CAN watch MotoGP on television... They didn't speek about broadcast in Belgium...Does anyone know where it will be broadcasted in Belgium?!

For a channel that constantly pleads poverty, where have the bbc found the money ?First F1, then WRC now Moto GP.
Come on Dorna what was wrong with showing it on both Eurosport and the bbc, Surely having a broad viewing base like that is much better than having the bbc monopolising/spoiling the coverage.

British Eurosport has the best commentators, especially better than the BBC. The fact you can watch the practise and the qualifying is a bonus. I did not watch motorcycling before and got involved in watching it with my husband. I have also watchrd world superbikes on british eurosport so Iam very sad that next year it wont be on eurosport. I hope that Toby and Julian get head hunted by the BBC if this goes ahead

If it aint broke don't need to fix it.

I am gutted, don't care if the 125's and 250's are on bbci although i suppose that's something.

Big mistake tho.

Least WSBK will still be there alive and kicking, thank **** for that

i am absolutely gutted, you can't beat the eurosport coverage and to have to watch the bbc wit fking suzi perrin i think im going to have to get on a plane and take this one to the big wigs. dorna have got no idea. no more quals, no more 125s or 250s, and most importantly no more toby, julian or randy!!!! NOOOOOOOO

eurosports coverage manages to be, exciting, brilliantly funny, also hugely in depth, with broad analysis of whats going and extremely professional all at the same time which is near impossible.
i have seen absolutely no evidence of the bbc getting remotely close to just a single aspect of eurosports coverage of motogp.

this is such a ******* shame, i first started watching motogp with this fella's talking me through, i couldnt ever imagine listening to anyone else. Parish is alright, but cox is a ******* tragedy.

if bbc get close to itv's coverage of formula 1 of the last couple seasons, we'd be very lucky.
