Motogp Highlights

[hightower]

Why should I pay to watch MotoGP when I can watch WSB & BSB ,TT etc for free?

You'll have to tell me about that deal! FREE!


Because the last time I checked you could only watch WSB/BSB highlights (not live) on terrestrial TV, and even then..... you have to pay a licence fee, so not exactly 'free'

Im already paying out over £900 a year for sky ! OK so I get the full package !  OR DID !
now if you want to watch the moto gp its another £144 ! I dont think so !


when is it going to start being all about racing instead all about money !

it wont be long before motogp moto 2 and moto 3 are forgotten about because the costs are just to much !

it will get to a point where so few people can watch it the price will go up to cover the costs


sorry but I wont pay any more than i already am !

You are right of course & I was forgetting my Virgin Media monthly payment-should have said-" See no reason to pay more than I am already doing"!

I'm not saying the cost of watching MotoGP is right in any way. But by people's reckoning it's equivalent of "why should I pay extra to put oil in my bike when I'm already paying for petrol" - it just doesn't make sense.

I pay for BT for the motogp and footy.  Its actually a good show for the motogp, full coverage and lots of banter/interviews etc.  Certain parts were a bit rough around the edges but yeah, much better than it was on Eurosport/BBC and not having Toby Moody name dropping/droning on is worth the fee on its own.

I have been using MotoGP.com for a few years, was sick of some crap commentators on Eurosport and BBC. Was also getting fed up of BBC showing it when it felt like it and losing out if there were delay on race day. It is relatively cheap between my 2 sons and I.
We connect the Laptop to the TV via HDMI lead and have access to the full 720p HD.

I've been watching it on ITV4 catchup service.

Well well,,Rossi has a montain to climb,,10th on the grid,,,now we saw Marquez last race drop to tenth and win,,But Rossi has to make a rocket start,,maybe 5th then work on them,,


He was second fastest on race tyres but only 10th fastest on soft qualifying tyres,,,not good

[HarryHornby]

What a cracking race..... Marquez is AMAZING!  and as for Rossi, he's the man.....

I'd watch it if I didn't have to put up with that arsehole of a commentator on the Itv4 highlight show Keith summit or other complete knob end.....I don't bother with motogp now thought I'd miss it but I don't, I've got plenty other motorsport to watch and for bikes u can't be wsbk's....closer racing

spoliers stop now if you havent seen it !


ok you will probably disagree but dispite it being a very exciting race ! to be honest it only really felt like a race when marquez was in front
Lorenzo did a fantastic job battling with him , but i just couldnt get away from the feeling marquez was following

as for rossi blimey ! tenth to third ! nice would have been great if he had been front trow at the start !

[unfazed]

Marquez did the same in practice, followed him around and then had the 6 gear gearing changed,  he is certainly a very shrewd rider. I guess he was watching for Lorenzos strong and weak points because when he did overtake on the last lap he was able to prevent Lorenzo from doing anything.
All this thinking at over 100 MPH , the mind boggles.

See  Crutchlow did his usual and Smith is getting as reliable as well, fecking usless
