MOTOGP » BBC extends MotoGP TV deal

3 have been on the same time zone.

There are no direct clashes - the only tricky one was Magny-Cours and Donington this year in the same time zone so Dorna just ran the MotoGP race later. It doesn't benefit anyone UK, Italy, Spain etc etc to run MotoGP up against F1.

Thanks for that Louise and Belinda, much appreciated!

belinda, thanks for taking the time comment on this forum. its very rare to even be in this type of dialouge with a producer i must say.

I think us fans are looking for some reassurance for next years season in terms of production. You have to awknowledge that the BBC's coverage so far of motogp is well, well below the standard of eurosport's. MotoGP is incredibly technical, and requires immense inteligence on both rider and teams and that just not transcend through the commentry to the viewer. The viewer who may be watching for the first time. I think its laughable relection, the way its brought to the viewer at the moment. That may sound harsh, but i believe it to be fair and justified.

Belinda,

Thanks once again for facing up to the angry mob once again. As you can see this recent news has upset the proverbial apple cart amongst the biking fraternity - did the Beeb predict this kind of response?. A question though - how am I supposed to set my recording system to record all of the BBCi stuff I will have to physically have to red button the channel prior to the race starting. Why can't the races be broadcast on a live BBC channel BBC2,BBC3, BBC4 etc?

are there any plans for a shake up on the way the BBC trys to convey the sport to the audience next year that you may have planned or are able to share with us at this point? aside from the clear air time issues and lack real live 125/250 sessions.

a very good point Flub

all i need now is for the bbc to take wsbk then i will be able to dump trashy euroasport, coz what a lot of tripe they put on it and call it sport.

could never understand why i paid for my viewing and still had to suffer bloody adverts.

all i need now is for randi jules toby to get a wage from the bbc and i'l be happy,
oh and maybe all my dreams could come true and have JAMES WHITHAM has a forth commentator.

The reasons that I am so pleased to watch MotoGP on BBC are :-
1- I don't have to listen to Moody & Ryder constantly talking over each other.
2- I don't have to listen to Moody & Ryder constantly correcting each other on wrong facts.
3- I don't have to listen to Moody & Ryder constantly falling about laughing at their own jokes.
4- I don't have to listen to Moody & Ryder
5- Eurosport transmission gives a wider picture than true. Makes the bikes look more leaned over than they really are.
6- I don't have to listen to Moody & Ryder
