Eurosport loses MotoGP deal

I suppose that means we have to put up with that Australian dickhead and Parrish.

Oh joy....

Bollocks, there goes any chance of watching any of the 125's & 250's, including qualifying, guess we will also lose Ryder, Moody & Mamola, and get Parrish and Cox,

BBC have also got the F1 rights from 2009 wonder which event will get the priority... what a load of cnuts

Just makes my crap day worse, bet I get a puncture on the way home, or get taken out by the fire engine rushing to my blazing house. Bollocks.

rant over.

How the hell is this meant to help Dorna? In the UK they will be getting a fraction of the coverage (not all the practice, qualifying, warm-up etc), no 125s or 250s. How is this good? For who?

Then we'll have to suffer the fucking awful BBC commentary - not to mention the fact that they're so ill-informed it astonishes me. How is this meant to compare to the knowledge and intimate personal knowledge that Mamola/Ryder/Moody have of the teams and personnel?

I knew that this was going to happen one day, but not so soon.

I'm certainly not watching (or listening to, more to the point) the wanky BBC presentation

The MotoGP class is the only 'product' that really matters to Dorna in terms of revenue. Their ambition is to grow MotoGP's audience along the lines of F1, and packaging the premier event along with a couple of races that don't mean much to the casual, non-enthusiast viewer (which would ultimaely make up the majority of the viewing audience, as it does in F1) doesn't help sell that product.
