I like that in a girl!

I noticed today that my BT bill itemised BT sport but put the cost as £0.00
No doubt they will start charging for it as soon as we're hooked.
'Eurosprout' Player is £35/year for WSBK so I'm willing to pay about £3/month for MotoGP.
Any more than that and they can stick it up their BT tower.

I'd forgotten how good moto3 was.

No one misses the wky 2strokes (not the stupid 125cc ones that is)
I'd love 500/750 2strokes back

I'm getting into all sorts of stuff I've never followed before ...Baseball, basketball etc. etc.

Watching baseball as we speak.

Their UFC coverage is brilliant too.

Ah thanks, I've never watched it.

I'm currently watching a 2hr show called "A Decade in MotoGP 2002-2012" very well put together lots of input from the teams and riders.

After this at 20:00 is a 2014 preview show

[y2blade]

Looking back (watching this show) Sete was a much better guy than the press at the time made him out to be.

Are there any deals to be done? I really can't face being without motogp, but I don't have broadband in the home & I'm currently a sky tv subscriber.

Tbh, I don't mind the £15 a month for hd motogp but it's obviously an awful lot more than someone who is using bt for broadband is getting it for!

If you can cope with highlights, ITV4 have an hours worth on the Monday evening following the race at 8pm.
If it's live you're after then I guess it's BTSport, a Motogp web pass thingy or you'll have to search for a live streaming on the day.

For those of us who went BT Broadband to get MotoGP, does anyone know if it's LIVE only, or can we watch the racing later... I had Eurosport Player last year and there was at least a couple of hours of 'pause' available, but nothing like that on BBC Sport. If we can watch a recorded version, any idea when it becomes available, and for how long?

Watching it this evening
Really enjoying all the shows and clips

Interesting news coming out from the continent. After MotoGP blocked the MotoGP.com video pass in Spain (presumably as a result of the Movistar PPV TV deal) they have now done the same in Italy where the racing is subscription only through Sky. Is this a sign that they may pull a similar trick in the UK?

They've only blocked it for new subscribers, i'd be surprised if they didn't do the same here as it takes money out of bt's pockets.

On the subject of bt i wonder why they didn't sign Azi same story with eurosports i wonder why they got matt roberts to do bsb not her?

Secondly why didn't they get toseland doing race coverage with julian? Toesland doesn't seem that good at starting/leading a conversation but ask him a question and he gives good insightful answers.

[Dare2Fail]

It could be that Toseland has other commitments that means travelling around the world wouldn't be feasible for him. He is based in the UK studio for most of the rounds I think.

true , he did say on his motopod interview it had to fit in around his band not the other way round.
