I think I may do something similar. Rather than email though I'm
actually tempted to write a letter to Tony Partis, the MD of Dorna UK,
suggesting he looks at what the existing fan base are saying.

He was one of the guys my email went to.

However, I suspect Dorna UK is only concerned with BSB. Still, worth
a try.

I emailed the head of media & PR. I also pointed him to the crash.net
site and suggested they review the comments on there.

How they believe that one less channel will reach a wider audience, I
don't know.

The conversation prolly when like this:

Dorna: Can you provide better coverage please?
BBC: Not while Eurosport do. Gives us exclusive rights and we might
Dorna: OK then

I expect that a couple of local TV companies where motogp is big
(Italy, Spain) bunged them a few Euros for exclusive coverage.
