MotoGP returns to British Eurosport!
I was going to this in the 'Eurosport lose GP' thread but I thought this news deserves it's own.
MotoGP will return to British Eurosport, the 125 and 250 races will be shown live, with the MotoGP race being shown delayed later in the day. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/sp...-announcement/ I expect they'll also being showing qualifying and free practice as well. From what I have heard from someone in the industry, Toby Moody was the main driving force in getting MotoGP back on Eurosport. |

If it turns out to be true and also they do get Toby, Julian and Randy back for it, I'd be quite happy to give the live coverage on BBC a swerve and wait for the Eurosport showing.
Not quite the full package, but about as close as it gets, and far better than nothing. |

Fantastic news. Steve and Charlie are no match for Eurosport's proven team, and having the 125s and 250s live rather than merely online and on the red button is a real boon. Hopefully similar 'terrestrial gets what they want, Eurosport keep the rest' deals can be struck throughout Europe.

This is great news. I would rather watch the MotoGP race delayed with Toby, Julian and Randy rather than live with the BBC bunch.....

As long as the holy trinity remain as commentators. So have they listened to our endless complaining then? fu**ing Dorna tw**s finally woke up perhaps?

Looks like we'll be getting two-thirds of the commentary team. There'll be no Randy Mamola acording to this:

Good to hear Toby back yesterday, lets hope Jules Ergotism clears up before round 1 and he can join him in the booth. James Haydens informative for sure, but really he should be out their riding still.

Anyone know if the Moto GP will be on European Eurosport now? Only I turned my spare dish to Astra 19 E and now have a digital Eurosport on Channnel 153.

A bit of good news on the Eurosport front, British Eurosport 2 is now 16:9. The picture quality seems better then the main channel to me.

Because the Eurosport deal was sorted so late, Toby and Julian had made alternative plans (no idea what they are) which clash with some meetings, this being one of them.
