Ok so I'm a bit slow but I've only just seen the announcement that MotoGP coverage is moving from Eurosport and the BBC to BTSport only next season.
Not happy!

I agree, I am not happy either, but, as I have BT broadband and sky TV I do not have to pay any more than I am now for it, so it better be good as the Eurosport coverage has been the making of all Motorcycle Racing.

I can also get it free Chris online. Also I've just rang BT and can get it on the TV for a similar price to what I pay now with a one off cost of £49 for the box.
Yet another box which I don't need!

Have to admit that I am not happy. I only watch free to view and this is something I am really going to miss or it will make me pay

I thought one reason the BBC got rights to the live coverage over Eurosport was because the coverage was free to the general public apart from the cost of a TV license.
So how come they are now opting for a medium with a more limited audience

Well at least it could be said that they both know something about motorcycle racing! I do wonder if it will be going a bit budget though.

Anyone know what Matt Roberts plans are?
