I don't think things are helped by the later start for all the races at Estotil today. I think the first race if the day isn't until 2pm (not sure if that is 'our' time or local time) and that must limit Eurosports options on what to show. If there is a race they can show when they are showing BSB Quali then it is really, really poor, but of there is no racing on at that time then I can understand the sticky position they are in. All in all, it can't be all bad to be a bike fan when you have to complain that there is too much racing on tv

MotoGP gets the highest ratings of anything on BES, but both BSB and WTCC pay them a hefty amount to show it live, the receive or pay nothing to show Motogp.

We don't normally get to see BSB quali, so why is this weekend different? Instead they could be showing the full Moto2 race in that slot. As long as we see all of the races in their entirety I will be quite happy, although I do have concerns that Burnicle will cock up and start telling us the results before they screen the races.

I see where you are coming from but there is no way Eurosport get higher ratings for BSB qualifying than a MotoGP race.

Has anyone seen the Warm up times? Stoner is absolutely flying. Considerably faster than his pole time from yesterday and about 0.7 quicker than Dani in second.
It looks like Cal has managed to wake up Dovi as he was quickest Yamaha this morning. Could be a great year with the Tech3 guys battling each other for supremacy all season long.

Who'd we all reckon for the Moto2 win then?
I think Crazy Joe might do what he did last year, but hopefully not fall off...
