MotoGP back on British Eurosport for 2009...

 Shown "delayed live" just after the BBC transmission finishes...

"...British Eurosport has now completed a deal to show all Friday and
Saturday practice sessions, and the 125cc and 250cc races, live plus
slightly delayed coverage of all the MotoGP races. These will be
broadcast just after the BBC's live race coverage has finished."

No confirmation of the commentary team however:

"...Meanwhile, for fans of Moody, Ryder and Mamola, presenters and
commentators are yet to be confirmed."

Toby confirms he is staying, probably with Julian, but no Randy as
they will not to broadcasting live from the circuit but back in studio
in UK.

That is such a shame.

And Randy IS the man, as Murray Walker would proclaim (with the
emphasis firmly on the wrong syllable ;)

I've got plenty of time for Stavros (for obvious reasons), Suzi Perry
anchors quite well <g>, and the BBC picture and track sound feed has
always been of considerably higher bandwidth and quality than the
"compressed to hell" Eurosport feed, but... I can't abide by Charlie
"crossing the stripe once again Rossi is putting the magnets on
Stoner" Cox's lack of real depth of knowledge of the sport (I am aware
of his tin-top race history).

 

    You might want to ask Graeme Crosby's opinion on that.

We'll have to disagree on that.  I find her flirting with the racers quite
nauseating at times, but perhaps that's because I don't find her
attractive.


Having it in widescreen is one of the big pluses for the Beeb feed, but
you can't beat stateside-Randy keepin' it real.
