After many years of successful collaboration, MotoGP rights-holders
Dorna Sports would like to announce that coverage of the MotoGP World
Championships will no longer be available on Eurosport from the 2009
season," read a statement from Dorna.

The decision is part of Dorna's new strategy of working with national
network broadcasters around Europe, always focusing first and foremost
on free-to-air coverage to bring MotoGP to wider audiences.

The BBC will be broadcasting both F1 and MotoGP next season, with *F1
certain to be given preference in the event of a clash.*

As somebody has pointed out, the BBC do have 125, 250 and qualifying on
BBCi but you can't record it.

Damn, Damn, Damn. This household is very, very unhappy about this.

Well I'm able to record it from freeview. But with the BBC also
broadcasting F1, what's the betting that they'll only show 125 and 250
at selected meetings?

Cheers,

Agreed.

Don't you just know it.

There was no qualifying available today from Assen on BBCi - it was
just bloody tennis.

>Damn, Damn, Damn. This household is very, very unhappy about this.

As is this one.

I might email Dorna about this.

I've just emailed Dorna expressing my unhappiness about this.

And, I see, there's already an online petition

"I, a fan of Moto GP am devastated that ..."

You, a fan of Moto GP, seriously need to get a life, IMHO.

My position was (and, to be honest, largely remains) one of complete ambiguity.
