Just checked as not sure if i'll be at home to watch on Eurosport (full coverage, naturally) only to see that the BBC are showing delayed coverage at midnight...

Just a heads up for those without Sky etc.

Of course it will all be live on MotoGP.com if you subscribe.

Cheers,

Johnny

MotoGP PreviewSunday 09 March
2:10pm - 2:40pm
BBC2
A look ahead to the 2008 MotoGP season, which gets under way this weekend. Qatar is the first of the 18 rounds and will be a momentous occasion as it will take place under floodlights and be the sport's first ever night race. History will also be made later this year when Indianapolis hosts a MotoGP race for the first time. Casey Stoner will wear the number one plate as the current world champion while British fans will be monitoring the progress of Britain's reigning World Superbike champion James Toseland, who is making his debut in the premier class of motorcycle racing. And Valentino Rossi, arguably the greatest ever rider, will be looking to win the world title for the first time since 2005.

Just confirmed i'm at home so it will be Toby, Julian & Randy for me, by far my preferred commentary team!

I did think it strange that the BBC wouldn't have it live, seeing as they do all the interactive red button stuff...

What are the Eurosport times for their coverage as the Skyguide seems to be broken at the moment for me?

Need to change the aerial too, and the rumour round here is that if you don't get ch5 (which I don't) then a digi won't work anyway.

Bah, humbug...
