MotoGP 2014 - BT Sport

[Harvey mush man]

I wouldn't say that I know my apples any more than any other die hard racing fan, I just happen to have a sweet day job. I can't watch the BBC coverage, can't stand Parrish and Cox. Spalding manages to take the most exciting sport on the planet and turn it into a nuts and bolts yawn fest and Burnicle seems to miss stacks of whats going on. That's why I think this could be a great time to pick the best guys around and make a new team. The bottom line for me is that I like MotoGP enough to not mind paying (or switching my broadband supplier) in order to watch it in 2014. If BT Sport pick all the blokes I don't like, I'll still watch it, I'll just end up shouting at the telly a bit more. If BT Sport run a mid week MotoGP chat show, with racers and techy features on the bikes, I'll watch that too.

I'm going to pirate the st out of MotoGP for 5 years. Yarr!

Dorna

[ooo000ooo]

Does this deal include moto 2 & 3? Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

[Harvey mush man]

Yes, all classes are involved.

It would of been better if bt got bsb as well, at least it would all been on the same channel rather than all over the place.

AS much as I love Moto GP, there is no way I would pay BT a single penny after dealing with them in the past. What a way to kill GP off in the uk, I would sooner suck piss out of the gusset of a tramps underpants than subscribe to B fking T

I've made my feelings plain in my twitter posts (same name as here)

While exact scheduling plans are yet to be decided, BT confirmed it plans at the least to show every session live via its new BT Sport App.

Eh? So they "might" show all the sessions on it's app? But not everything on the TV?

I love the sport but fked if I'm paying any more than I do, the only reason I have sky at the moment is for eurosport covering MotoGP so I'll kick fking Sky into touch at end of season too!
wkERS!

The only reason you pay is to watch it....but in the future you're not paying to watch it....

Er, yes, quite,

[FourWheelDrift]

Could try Eurosport France - http://en.kingofsat.net/channelhistory.php?ch=102 may not work if subscription services for Eurosport don't cover all Eurosport channels.

Other broadcasters.

Looks like I'll get it for free being a broadband customer, says it'll be HD free for a year, can't find the cost after that though.

[macdeb]

Cool, but remember nothing these tossers say is free, really is. You Will pay for it some way.

I think it will be £15 per month from what I've read. Basically it'll follow (roughy) the old ESPN pricing model on Sky, so it won't be included in any existing Sky packages.

I'll pay as I love to follow bike racing, and as someone has already said £15 a month in the grand scheme of things is cock all. From the press launch it sounds like they have good plans to broaden the scope of the coverage, which is nice to see. It's also good to see that they don't plan to shelf Moto3 and Moto2 coverage in the UK. Ultimately it sounds like the race weekend coverage will be similar to what we see on Eurosport at present, however MotoGP will be live and I imagine that there will be more pre race and after race stuff. Provided they don't balls up the commentary team then I think it could result in a very good package. Whether or not you feel it is worth £15 per month or not is entirely down to your thoughts and views.

Even if it is £15 per month...get a rip ffs!

it's less than a round of drinks

+1 to that!

Have you seen how much the poxy MotoGP videopass is?! That's where Dorna have f--ked up, not in giving BT Sport the rights.

Dorna should offer a free videopass on their web-site that shows just the MotoGP races, no build-up, no commentary, no interviews, delayed even, so everyone who wants to see them can do and those who want to pay for the fluff can also do.

[hairyben]

Big mistake. I don't think motoGP has a big enough dedicated following to make $$$pv work. Evan the f1 hasn't been the success hoped for from what i gather.

Say, will bt have a sky go equivalent? If so login trading starts here... Sky f1 here, want motogp

Sorry bloke but,
a very thin end to the wedge [no pun intended]
for the hours viewed [on TV not forget] good value??
I used to have money to spare.
The more you are willing to pay? the more they will charge you and one day even you may say enough.
