MOTOGP » BBC names its MotoGP line-up

what a load of pants

With no disrespect to the BBC folk, I''m bummed that the Eurosport team won''t be around. Many thanks Toby, Julian, and Randy - I always enjoyed your commentary. Another cash-grab from Dorna... do they ever think of the fans?

I know all you Brits think this is pretty crappy but just be glad you don''t live over here in the States where all races except the US rounds are shown on same day tape delay! And that''s without ANY coverage of practice AND qualifying, a few races of 125cc on the following Tuesday (if at all), and if we are lucky they show the 250cc race on same day tape delay if not on the following Tuesday also - if they show it at all! "They" being SpeedTV which has cursed the world with that show "Pinks!" So be glad you still get to watch the races live before the results are on the internet!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad news, I liked the Eurosport commentators much more :/

Raw Dawg, you couldn't have said it better...

charlie cox....

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


.

Suzie Perry.....early 90's biker chick, now old mutton drooling over young..er (than her) riders.
Parish, not one of our greatest riders.
Cox...no comment.
Momola - GP winner !!!! hello no brainer
Julian - Big uber mechanigeek, endlessly entertaining when with the other two.
Toby - ok can be a bit annoying but like the other two is pretty frank and far more entertaining than the beeb team.

Beeb, ask the riders who they'd prefer! pedigree or the tramp?(Sorry Randy, your "Lady" in this version.
Dorna's day are numbered, it's one mistake after another at the moment. Let them own rights to a nice little spanish championship with it's spanish sponsors which it bows to on those puppydog hind legs

Why have they done this?
they said its not for money cos eurosport offered more then the beeb its going on free to air tv to make it attrative to more veiwers ok nice idea but its was all ready there on free to air on the beeb i got the feel the way the shows were done was that the bbc coverage was for joe public how might turn it on and say how look bike racing u know the type that stumble across wsb and wonder why rossi is not racing were the eurosport coverage was a lot more indepth what with neil spoilding as a tech expert he knows a lots and i think al the eurosport team have great respect from the paddock do u ever think we will see rossi in the bbc coms box like he was for 1 of 125

So the beeb ignore public opinion again because they know best. Perry is past it, Cox is and always has been ****, and Steve 'me and barry sheene' Parrish is useless and a bore. The guy in the pit lane is the only one I can bare.
Doesnt matter really, cos I'll be watching it on the web via Motogp.com

Don't worry people, as soon as Rossi retires the beeb will drop it like a stone.

boy it just keeps getting better and better - NOT. "How to run a perfectly good sport into the ground in just 3 short years". Thanks Dorma. And thanks BBC for this one. i've been watching replays of last seasons races over the last week- really gonna miss Randy, Julian and Toby. I've never heard the BBC team, but the best comment i remember reading is "oh, they're alright".
