What channel do you watch?

[Mantzy]

The new season of MotoGP has started so again I have the remote in my hand flicking between two channels with differing coverage but which is better?

Personally, I'm more Eurosport as it has 125 and 250s and is less a Rossi show like BBCs coverage is. BBC tends to be all about Rossi and never shut up about him. Looks like I'll be watching Eurosport again this year until another "Ride The Winds Of Change" advert comes on. Problem is, I get engrossed in BBC coverage and forget to flick back to Eurosport.

Its a shame in a way that BSB has now gone to ITV too as it means the other races (R6 Cup, Supersport etc.) won't be shown possibly (have yet to see).

Opinions?

I get what I'm given. I only have terrestrial at home, so it's a mix and match between BBC and ITV depending what's on when.

If the weather's good, I'll be out biking and tape the races instead.

I missed the race . Don't suppose anyone knows the location of an online/uploaded recording?

[Wave2k]

It is on again at 6.45pm on Eurosport UK. (well thats what it says on the sky tv guide).

[EuropeanNC30R...]

I haven't got eurosport

[The Tot]

Mamola, Moody and Ryder are class commentators and not dissing Steve Parrish and his mate, i'd much prefer Eurosport's more exclusive airing and technical explinations throughout their coverage. Although if Suzi Perry gets her tits out on TV, i might be inclined to say BBC will score.

Off topic, Don't like the length of the ads on BSB, least they have uninterrupted coverage.

eurosport, the coverage is so much better, and they actually know what they are goin on about.

I watched the 125's, then missed the 250's, then watched the 500's, and im annoyed at missing the 250's as from what I can tell from the small clips it was a good one!

[NSR-Rulez]

it was good especially the last lap.

Dovisioso (i cant spell it properly) was a legend

BBC purely because of the ad breaks.

Watched the BSB on ITV and i've got to say the coverage was pretty terrible. Though it is good its been brought to the masses. It kinda reminds me of a 3am rally show. Would have been good if they mentioned the other races too, especially as in one shot they were forming up behind the commentator at the time (they were Virgin Cup'ers)!

Eventually fell asleep as it was getting annoying, I loved BSB more than motogp last year...i hope it's not going to ruin it. Anyone else agree?

always watch Eurosport, as i enjoy watching the 125's 250's and moto gp bikes, although i do flick over to BBC2 when the adverts are on. but overall i think that Eurosport have the best coverage of the races and thr best commentators, they seem to know what they are going about. i only wish that Miss Suzi Perry would move over to Eurosport
