MOTOGP » Ezpeleta: BBC to BT like 500cc to MotoGP


No "I like green" read with a bit more attention, its all happened before and no one has moaned, then again does anybody really care about WSB? If it wasn't for CE investing in British talent there would have been no Haslam, Smith, Redding, Kent, Davies, Toseland, Walker, Byrne, Stafford and Cammier, all moved into GP with Dorna backing. The likes of Smith, Redding, Kent and Davies, even Stoner being paid for by Dorna in the acadamy, now give something back.

MOTOGP » Ezpeleta: BBC to BT like 500cc to MotoGP


I remember when Eurosport was free on analogue sat, Sky were part of it and WSB was on Screensport. Then Sky started Sky Sports and pulled out of Eurosport leaving them off air until they joined forces with Screensport. Sky started subscription and WSB, everybody said they did wonders to raise the profile of WSB, the internet was in its infancy then though so none of this crap. Did anybody moan when WSB disappeared off BBC through lack of interest and then went to British Eurosport (subscription) but had free viewing on their web-site (when it worked) but then signed the exclusive deal with Eurosport so had to remove live web feed, now in the UK cannot be shown live on any other channel. No moaning there? And net petitions come on!

Avtech, BBC is not for the masses they don't even promote it, when was the last time you saw an advert for an up and coming race? F1 used to get a dozen a day. Eurosport is hardly for the enthusiast, the web site is for that and cheaper as well. As for CE being only interested in short term, he's been there since 91 and sent Ecclestone packing who brought it up a level but CE has slowly built it up, did you see it when the FIM promoted it? The muppets will say it was Rossi, but it was Dorna who marketed Rossi. If he's looking at the short term well he's got 5 years money out of BT, thats an age in business these days. The UK has had a lot of subsidies to get it on TV with low price packages and subsidized riders, remember CH4? Now let another country get some help. Eurosport was better when it was one channel for the whole of Europe, now its split up with different deals for different countries and not enough audience. With BT vision getting Rugby and a big percentage of premiership ga

Everybody else accross Europe pays for it and the figures are up every year, if you like something enough contribute, if you don't shut up. The likelihhod of BT sport being on Sky and Virgin are very strong, they are negotiating now. Every sport that has become pay per view has become stronger, it makes good sense to move it to a channel where they have a lot of sports coverage and the BBC is losing out on most, maybe they should stop paying personalities 8 figure salaries and Eastenders actors 6 figure salaries. If you don't want to pay BT, pay Dorna direct their on line coverage is very good, cost me €100 for a year. Eurosport has become tired and does nothing to promote it, the WSB coverage on there is rank ( only just bareable with Whitham taking the P*** out of Burnicle) and we are stuck with that for the next 5 years due to the Flaminis signing exclusive rights over for nest to nothing.

WSBK » Buckmaster: WSS rules can work for WSBK


"there's proper accessible characters riding the bikes" I would really question that one, I saw totally the opposite to that last year. Why are people convinced Dorna will screw it up? They are not the ones who put it in the position it is in now from a business prospective. Which ever way you look at it CRT teams are attracting more sponsors than factory teams in WSB.

WSBK » Buckmaster: WSS rules can work for WSBK


There's never been a threat to motogp, only in the mind of the WSB loyal. Not in the FIM or the manufacturers mind, the fans have chosen with their feet and the TV companies with their coverage. Both down to near zero. Before last year the WSB faithful said the series was better because of more manufacturers and fuller grids, now all of a sudden size doesn't matter, with sham being the champion hypocrit with his constant bleating about CRT. I am getting worried Mr Buckmaster is just talking too much sense these days.
