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?

I haven't read the info - so does this mean it won't be on Eurosport at all?

We lost the races on Eurosport when the BBC got the deal, but I still watch the races in the evening with Toby, Jules & Co.

Does the BT deal mean that Eurosport won't be showing anything??

As far as I am aware:

1. Nobody has been officially announced yet to be hosting the BT Sport MotoGP programme. Many names have been mentioned as doing it. BT Sport already have Clare Balding, Jake Humphrey and Lawrence Dallaglio signed up as presenters - Jake was a presenter for F1 on the BBC and was announced as presenting the football on BT Sport, so may also do MotoGP.

2. Eurosport so far do not have rights to show anything. This was the same when the BBC gained exclusive live rights to MotoGP, so another deal may be worked out for Eurosport to show the MotoGP race delayed as they do now.

3. BT will not be getting any money from me.
