BBC sports coverage outside the mainstream has always been ropey at best.

You know a few years back when we had the choice of BBC Grandstand or ITV's World of Sport I alsways watched World of Sport. The BBC was just football, horse racing and cricket. So boring and I think they still have that narrow minded approach to sport. WOS used to have so many different things even American truck racing on ovals and the acapulco cliff divers.

Look here to see how WOS prioritised it's sports just by the intro - Real video clip - www.mercia.biz/PHVid/itvworldofsport.rm

Yep! Gave up years ago watching any kind of bike coverage on the Beeb. The only reason used to be Suzi Perry tarting around on the WSB grid'd getting giggly round Bayliss and co - even she can't drag me back now.

MotoGP, WSB and BSB have complete coverage on Sky which not only makes the race more of an event, but also shows you the riders that you'll be watching in a few years time.

Saying that though, don't forget that BBC NI has the NW200 on tonight, channel 973 I think.

Are you sure BSB is on Sky this year? Not seen it on Eurosport 1 or 2.

I think ITV have BSB only this year, unless Setanta Sports has it.

I don't think it's on live but pretty sure you get a 3 hour same day highlights show on one of the genuine Sky Sports channels (3 or Extra). Also seen it on Men & Motors during the following week aswell.
