MOTOGP » BBC responds… to you!

Eurosport have done a great job but it is time to move on. If the BBC show all the coverage on their interactive service, then what is the problem? At least we won't have adverts in the middle of the races!! With regard the commentary team, I find Ryder and Moody self congratulary, boring and gibbering fools. For people who have been commentating on a particular sport for so long, it surprises me how wrong they often are in their assessment of riders. Their recent rants about Marco Simoncelli are quite simply incorrect. Burnicle and Whitham are excellent as they actually comment on what is happening and are extremely funny.

"Bernie and Dorna work their calendars out together and the races don''t clash and haven''t for the last few years."

Apart from Donington - Magny Cours, I can see on this year''s calendars Motegi - Singapore, and Sepang - Shanghai, so she''s got that wrong for a start. Suddenly WSBK has become even more appealing.

I have to say that the biggest problem I have with the BBC having sole rights is that they are hiding a whole bunch of coverage behind "the red button". This coverage is not available for recording either using old tech (e.g. video recorders) or new tech (e.g. Sky+). So, if I'm away for the weekend I can only record the MotoGP race AND NO OTHER COVERAGE!
Come on Beeb, we've got British riders in all three classes and many, many racing fans love the free practice and qualifying sessions as well as the races - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make all the coverage available for us to record by whatever means we see fit. Why not stand up FULL coverage on BBC3/4 since they are off air?

what if crash were to employ ryder,moody,mamola and they broadcast on crash radio so we can turn the sound down on the bbc and listen online to quality commentary?

the only thing bernie works out is how to earn more money out of fans. oh, and how to keep mates in jobs!!!!!!!

Get some decent commentary!!!! I don't hear people complaining about it not been in HD!!!

Did you read people's comments? Most of them singled out the fact you have to listen to a pair of muppets talking out of their clacker valves for an hour!

Listening to Eurosport, then flicking over to the beeb during adverts (yes they are annoying) is like watching another race completely devoid of atmosphere and excitement, christ even the missus has commented on it and she hates bikes!

DONT MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE Ms ROGERSON

It''s not the content of the programme that is the problem it the commentators.

Steve Parrish does a good job as does Matt Roberts, but Nick Harris is so far off the track it''s old and very boring.

Advice to the BBC hire Julian and Toby with Randy doing the roaming mike.

Julian Ryder, Toby Moody and Randy Mamola!

I prefer Eurosport because of the commentary. Honestly, those three as a team are what make MotoGP so enjoyable for me. It's one thing to watch the race, but another to get their commentary. I've heard BBC, Speed (US), and Eurosport, but I consistently find myself back with the Eurosport team because how far and a away better they are.

I'm not a fan of the move to the beeb, but there's no use crying over spilled milk. The contract extension was a nice political move by Dorna to shove the final nail into Eurosport revival movements. Oh well.

Julian Ryder, Toby Moody and Randy Mamola!
