Moody and Ryder to stay in new-style, watered-down Eurosport MotoGP coverage
The digital broadcaster has secured rights to transmit this year's MotoGP series - in a restrictive deal signed with the BBC and Dorna that sees Mamola dropped from the popular commentary trio.
The new arrangement will see a change in the level and presentation of British Eurosport’s coverage of the leading motorcycle championship.
British Eurosport will have full live coverage of all practice and qualifying sessions for 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP races and live coverage of all 125cc and 250cc races but NOT MotoGP.
Popular presenters Toby Moody and Julian Ryder will still commentate - all be it from the banal confines of Eurosport's Feltham-based studio.
British Eurosport will broadcast the MotoGP races delayed by one hour from the start of the race.
Will the new line-up replicate the frenzied excitement that made the old-style Eurosport so popular?
We'll find out in a few weeks time when MotoGP goes to Qatar on April 12th.

SKY + most of em anyway
bet they are pissed that theyre not travelling the world with it this year, Feltham does not sound as exotic as some of the race venues does it lol

I always sky + the races too so no great loss to me.I would have to mute the sound on the BBC as I could not listen to those two arseholes on there

Thats got to be better than having just the BBC to watch.
Well doner to the BBC and Eurosport for coming to some sort of workable agrement.
I'm happy with it.
If anyone from the BBC reads this, Parrish would do a better job by himself.
