ITV are bringing exposure of bikes and biking to a far greater audience and it must be for the good of bikes. Commercial interests and sponsors will gain from the greater exposure on terrestrial TV and reinvest in the series = goodness.
Yes the coverage isn't as good as Sky, but the good news is that you can have both - albeit delayed on Sky. They will get better - particularly if the viewing figures are strong.
I'd always recorded the Sky coverage anyway (SKY+) - so its still the same, I will miss the odd time when I could have watched race 1 live, but I understand that they will (have) shown some of the R6 cup too?
