Moto GP on Eurosports to end !!

[woof]

I can't believe that we're loosing MotoGP from Eurosports and the best commentator pairing of Toby Moody and Julian Ryder. BT Sport have bought exclusive rights to the series. Seems incredible short sighted by FIM

Yep.Its criminal, but its driven by Dorna, not FIM.

Only choice next year is Dornas own stream on MGP.COM or pay for Bt sport @ £15/month.

Or illegal streams.

Im amazed Eurosport havnt been able to negotiate a deal similar to the current one. I would rather watch recorded coverage with quality comms than live, ala BBC.

Im gutted, been watching on Eurosport for about 15 odd years.

[woof]

OK Dorna which I guess is like FOM ?

I just enjoy watching MotoGP - I don't know the finer points to it. perhaps that's why I still enjoy it so much !
Def won't be watching it on BT sport - much like a lot of people want buy SKY because they have no interest in Football (or hate Murdoch), I've no interest in buying yet another package that will go to paying some chavy football players wage.


BT Sport just paid £900 million to show the champions league for 3 years !!

[Slippydiff]

Well, they disappeared from our screens a couple of years ago ? Back then we thought we'd not see them again. Let's hope they reappear sometime, some place. But I agree, Moto GP won't be quite the same without them

Will the doran steams on the website be free or not?

DORNA Website is Pay per view. If you have BT Broadband then BT Sport is free. Otherwise you have to get it via SKY or if you have their Youview product.

Cool il probably just switch my broadband over to bt from sky and watch it on my ipad....well airplay it from my ipad to the tv...save 15 quid a month and still get to watch it

At this year was a cracker to send off the championship - I'll not be watching next year unless something changes.

Ditto.

That was a great race to end the season on and some wonderful MotoGP memories at the end

[Fonz]

Well said to both of the posts above.

[Quattromaster]

Even if I was to sign up to BT sport I can't, because thanks to BT my broadband speed isn't fast enough, muppets.

It's ok, rather than speed it up they have just spent 900 million on football, double muppets.

Gutted that Eurosport have lost rhe rights to Moto Gp. I have learned so much from their commentary team, who have made what should be mundane practise sessions so interesting. It really is sad that we will have at least 3 brits on the gird next year and some of us wont be able to watch, hang your heads in shame Dorna.

They annoy me intensely. Not much more I can say than that. Rank amateurs in my book.

The FIM or the commentary team?

Its fking criminal what BT are doing.

You pay a firtune for a sports package on the TV, only for someone to spring up with a new channel, buy the sports you like and say "If you want to watch that, it will cost you even more."

Soon, you will need to literally pay per sport and/or per event. Its what they're all driving at because broken down, their respective governing bodies can charge more for the rights to them.

BT have also bought up a load of the football too. So if you thought you had all the Premier league covered, suddenly you dont anymore. wkers. Soon it will be cheaper to go there and watch it live...

[RobGT81]

The amount BT have paid for CHampions League is bonkers, most people aren't interested in the majority of the matches. Man City vs Somebody away isn't going to pull the subscriptions.

It was bad anough a few years ago when eurosport lost the right to show motoGP live, but i was happy to watch it delayed as moody ryder and spaldini made the coverage interesting they arnt just the usual commentators they are real fans like us, which comes accross perfectly

i'm gutted, lets hope eurosport pull something out the bag

[cuprabob]

In my eyes, BT are doing nothing different to what Sky have done in the past.

To arsey like me this is a red rag to a bull.
I was a sky subscriber for 10+ years; movies, sport, etc.
When they started putting boxing PPV and ESPN/Setanta got half the football and various other money-making shenanigans I quit the lot. There was no way I am paying full whack for half the service and yet expected to pay even more to third parties for what was included previously.
