Sure, but Eurosport have lost the contract, not Eurosport-UK.

Bear in mind that Dorna currently have 4 national TV contracts for live
MotoGP for 2009 - Italy, Spain, UK, & Germany, so it's not like they
really care that much about the rest of Europe.

Has Dorna ever given a hoot what people think? The MotoGP website is the
worst of any professional racing series, and for what they charge money for
is crap!

You've not tried to use the WSB one, then.

Crap. It's the end of the world as we know it.
