Excellent coverage. It's not often I'll spend the whole day infront of the telly without turning over, but it was a pleasure to watch it today.

The racing was good which obviously helped, but even the ginger whinger was pretty good.

Nice one and long may it continue.

great coverage, thought haslam was being abit too dodgy today, hes trying to hard, he knows he needs to do something, he says he wants to do gp's hes not good enough, and what the hell are suzuki been playing at lately that bike is shocking, sykes was riding the socks off that thing to get where he did today, slidding every corner, tbh hes the most talented rider in that championship! Well impressed with Karl Harris (very unlucky today)

Got to disagree, Sykes is one of the talented youngsters but by no means the best, on any given race weekend Camier and Crutchlow are is easily his equal.

He rode the wheels off it today, maybe Rizla haven't got the electrics as well sorted as the others ....

As for Haslam, no danger of him winning it, you're right, he isn't good enough ....

EuroSport coverage was ok but the chunky ginger lad needs some new questions and Jamie Witham needs to work on all his hsitancy and stuttering, even Murray Walker sounded better and he ws there as a Rizla guest ....

You could pick holes in parts obviously, there were a few technical stuff ups, but overall it's just great to see bike action that is well presented by people who know what they are talking about and obviously know all the major players so can get interviews and reaction faster than I've seen it anywhere else.

Whilst there were adverts, they never got in the way.

BSB suddenly seems to be this open but also professional series. Has MV's involvement changed things?

Not perfect, but overall a whole lot better than the coverage you get on F1 for instance.

I often find myself whinging on PH about motorsports coverage, so it's only fair to mention when one of the broadcasters gets it right.

Burnicle and Whitham are also an excellent team, which doesn't half help!

dibbie i agree with you about crutchlow, riding he had some good races on a crap suzuki last year, a few podiums, he's hugely talented too, camier is great also, 'tankslapper stylee', just love sykes riding style, also how about laverty today not the relentless suzuki one the other one on the cup bike (pretty much a superstock bike) chucking in top 10 finishes and mincing it with some big budget teams.

I'm just pleased Dennis Hobbs is OK. That was a horrible crash.
