Thank God for the racing season Dance!

I wish they would do all races on the Saturday - Sunday is the day for going out on the bike. I like to watch WSB, Moto GP and BSB races live but if it's dry out there then I'm not going to miss a days riding to watch them.

Maybe I should start a petition Wink

Didn't catch race one, but gonna watch race 2!

Biaggi won then? Didn't expect that to be honest! Just wait till he has a minor problem with the bike, he'll be whinging just like he did in GP's.

ffs - just seen that BBC have dropped all coverage, including highlights, of World Superbikes. I cant get eurosport due to only having freeview.

If anyone comes across a torrent for it let me know!

Is it not on 'poor mans telly' at all? Thats all I have (well I've got freeview too) and I thought you sometimes get the highlights on channel 4 often around midnight on a sunday night.

Anyone know for sure? Shocked

Seriously, don't bother Evil or Very Mad

I bought a Freeview box to get Eurosport to watch various bike racing but it's pure turd on Freeview. Eurosport shuts down for most of the day. I saw the first race this morning and now the flippin' channel has closed down meaning I'm going to miss the second race.

You can get a Sky box for free and £15 a month with a much better channel selection and proper Eurosport. That's what I will do.

Freeview Thumbs Down

My freeview box is an older style one and doesn't have the card slot anyway. Even if I did I don't think it is worth subscribing for the extra crap that it gives you. To be honest I don't watch that much telly as it is anyway! Smile

Hmmm, Think i'll give that a miss then. We've just bought a humax hdd recorder with freeview, but to get top up tv its an extra £30 or so for the top up tv cam & then another £10 a month for the subs.

I have the same. Unfortunately you can no longer get topuptv that way. They've restricted it so you have to get their own PVR. Although as mentioned above the airtime for British Eourosport on it is pathetic anyway.

Brilliant racing this morning and lunchtime today

1st race, well done, Biaggi on the gixa 1000 moving from the 250's - guy to reckoned with?

2nd race, brilliant race and well deserved win for James Toesland

Tyres for all riders took some hammering, bikes waving all over the place - still top riding by all. The R1's looked promising for the first half of both races but JT and Biaggi stole the show both times - well done guys Thumbs Up

Great to get the biking season under way.

Er, where have you been for the last 10 years?
Last time Max raced 250's was 1996.
He moved to 500's from 97-2001, then Motogp from 2002-2005.
He sat last year out because no one wanted him.

Not without paying. There were a few sites where you could download the motogp races but dorna's solicitors put a stop to it. I expect the the same would happen if posted the superbike races.
