"Big news for MotoGP fans in the UK in a few days time."

Really interested to hear what this is. Really hope that UK is going to loose the GP.
There were rumors going round that BT Sport wasn't getting the viewing figures they were expecting for MotoGP and they wanted to terminate their 5 year contract early
Edit: I really hope that Dorna have't sold the rights to Sky Sports

You want us to lose the British GP?There were rumors going round that BT Sport wasn't getting the viewing figures they were expecting for MotoGP and they wanted to terminate their 5 year contract early
What has that got to do with BT Sport? Their contract has no bearing on a British GP or not.

Apologies, that was a typo. Course I want the UK to keep the GP. What has that got to do with BT Sport? Their contract has no bearing on a British GP or not.
There are a stream of comments on Toby's tweet suggesting what he could be talking about and one person suggested that he could be back on TV with Eurosport. This could mean BT Sport could throwing in towel.
My money is on the CoW project being canned.
Anyways. Lets see what happens.
Here's my tuppence worth - CoW will throw in the towel and join SnOasis (http://www.snoasis.co.uk/snoasis/?q=about_snoasis) as another 'prestige' project who had some money, told everyone what they were going to do, prior to being able to do it and then never getting any real (read large), backers to see it through to reality.

That is my dream.
Putting the lack of an international licence to one side, there is no chance of this happening. The BSB guys agree that the track is getting to small and fiddly for their bikes let alone more powerful lighter ones. 
LOL no, Crutchlow gets useless little Dani's Repsol HRC bike, Daniel has been moaning about his hand, arm pump, says "I cannot go on like this" and that surgery may make the situation worse.
Anyway, I'm an optimist, Cal seems to be the fastest non factory rider as the obvious candidate Redding seems more closely tied to Marc VDS and is (in a non HRC environment) not adapting to the RCV as quick.
Could be either, but so happy to see the back of Pedrosa, either way.
Kind you, knowing our luck, I'm wrong and it's probably just a special offer on MM99 sweatband and panties sets.

COW has binned it off. Donnington have secured the rights for the next 5 years after a big investment from Pukka Pies. With immediate effect the regulations have been changed and now mean that all riders must use the 125cc commuter bike of their chosen manufacturer, except for Marquez who must use the "sack" chassis and hop round the track in a potato sack. There is also to be a fine for having overly white teeth and hugging your brother after a good result. The Espagaros are expected to be most heavily affected by this new rule. The control tyre will now be supplied by Ling Long.
