BBC have now exclusive (last)rights to show motogp from next year, doesn't seem right to me where were they when the viewing figures were low, 10minutes at 0300 Sunday morning four weeks after the races if we were lucky, Moody, Ryder and Mamola consigned to the tip and we have the delights of Cox,Parish and Perry

We're doomed. What thef**k ar Dorna thinking

Sorry can't agree Euro(crap)sport are terrible. no tv company should be allowed to show rubbish adverts when sports on.

Apart from that the Eurosprt team truly are rubbish at commentary.

There one biased opinion to match the other

Sorry Gio, but can't agree with any of that other than the adverts, which seem to be getting longer, that's the only time I watch Beeb, but then you get Steve Parrish and Co..

So how do they raise money to show the sport in the 1st place?

Dunno about you but I pay a subscription fee

Subscription fees I pay are to Virgin Media - not Eurosport, and are split over a load of channels (most of which I dont watch).

I don't believe there is any way Eurosport could run purely on their share of any subscriptions (if they get any) without a big increase.
