I whole heartedly agree with your post and sentiments

according to mcn, british eurosport are rumoured to have got the rights for 125 and 250cc races to be shown live and the moto gp race is gonna be shown on a delay, but its only a rumour...

Gosh, I really hope they can do it. Moto GP on the BBC will be best viewed with the sound turned off....................

Well at least my link works.

Eurosport lost the rights, not to sure about the 125 and 250cc series though. BBC still have it as far as i'm aware. I tended to watch some races on eurosport and some on BBC, both had good commentators and the BBC has Suzi Perry

That is MCN though, the National Enquirer or the motorcycling world.

Probably heard from a mate who heard from a mate who heard from a mate who's mum made a cup of tea for someone's mate who overheard someone who's got a mate who works at Eurosport who once said hello to Toby Moody.

Would be good though if it is.

Exactly.

To my mind, if you want to watch the race and listen to commentary on what you're seeing, watch the BBC coverage.

If you want to watch the race and feel you're part of a conversation about the race in a pub between 3 blokes who get along and like to take the piss out of each other, watch Eurosport.

Fingers crossed.

Hardly, Cox and Parrish are not a patch on Moody and Ryder, not in the same league for commentary, they have an in-depth knowledge and humour that makes it perfect, much like Murray did for F1. You can't replace time in the seat for that.

Not even the delights of Suzi in a tight fitting top can surpass their lack of decent commentary.

Fingers crossed for this.

The thought of MotoGP without ES was bad enough. When the BBC announced Cox & Parrish would remain as commentators, it was a crushing disappointment.

I'd rather watch delayed coverage on Eurosport, than live coverage on the BBC.

Completely agree - times when I had to watch the BBC coverage last year while away from home, and then watched the Eurosport repeats mid week, was like watching a different race at times. The amount of passion they put in to the coverage really came across and while Steve Parrish is ok and knowledgable, the BBC team just can't match Eurosport

[Markytop]

Some good news I believe....

Although Moody, Rider and Mamola still to be confirmed

Fingers crossed!

great news

[flatout]

After a bad week at work that is the best news I have had all week thanks guy's
I would most definately wait until BBC has finished to watch on Eurosport. Cox does my brain in he commentates on moto gp like he is still commentatimg on BTCC back in the 90's its just not the same.
