Tue, 14 Feb 10:30:00 2012

British Eurosport will continue to broadcast coverage of the MotoGP Championship after extending its rights agreement into the 2012 and 2013 seasons.

2012 MotoGP testing Valentino Rossi - 0

The renewal means that bike fans in the UK and Ireland can continue to enjoy the digital broadcaster’s live coverage of the practice and qualifying sessions from every Grand Prix weekend and the Moto2 and Moto3 races live.

The main MotoGP race will be broadcast on a same-day delayed basis with popular commentary duo Toby Moody and Julian Ryder on hand to guide viewers through all the thrills and spills.

The agreement reinforces British Eurosport’s position as the Home of Motorbikes, providing exclusive live coverage from every round of the Superbike World Championship and MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship in addition to extensive MotoGP action.

  3. That's great news! I'll be renewing my­ subscription to Eurosport player. My only gripe with­ the online player is that the stream keeps dropping­ when watching a live event. VOD is okay, but they­ don't show the BSB races.

  5. I can't wait for the BBc to kick moto gp to the­ Kerb ,when something else comes along they'll do­ just that

  6. The two muppets on the bbc should be shot asap.They­ ruin the broadcast,Charlie Cox is about as funny as­ rabies.Mood and Ryder are by far the best.

  7. peter well noticed i am a woman but i do actually­ know what i am talking about when it comes to­ motorbikes as i have been an instructor for the last 10­ years teaching at tracks all over the world, any time­ you want to be shown how to ride a bike properly just­ ask

    Brilliant news - except the bit about 'I love­ me' 'and I really love me' (a.k.a. Moody­ and Ryder). They are appalling, in contrast to Jamie­ Whitham, Jack Burnicle, James Haydon and tony Carter,­ who are all excellent. We watch all the practice­ seasons, then switch to BBC for the MotoGP races -­ Parrish and Cox have so much more to offer, as does the­ whole BBC presentation.

    Moody and Ryder would be more acceptable if :-

    Moody­ stops squealing like a demented tom cat being­ castrated.
    And Ryder stop talking with a time delay­ between each word, just keep the words rolling out like­ any normal speeker Mr Ryder cos you sound a right­ pillock talking like you do. Just listen to any normal­ presenter, then listen to yourself, see how long it is­ before you get pi ssed off with the monotany and nod­ off to sleep

  15. Does anyone know about watching motogp on eurosport­ player? a) is the commentary by moody and ryder as on­ tv? and b) is it shown live online or time delayed­ as on the tv channel???

    :)

    From jd_redd_470, on Wed 15 Feb 2:48

  16. I watch stuff VOD on Eurosport, no commentary (great)­ and no adverts.
    Open mikes so you get all the track­ audio, no problem following.
    Try the ladies skiing,­ great action and ......stuff.

    No news channels here so­ never know the result anyway.

    From PETER, on Wed 15 Feb 1:37

  17. @andyganley good call mr ryder an huewen were the­ perfect mix of serious and comedy mr huewan taking the­ micky and mr ryder putting him straight

    From glyn689, on Wed 15 Feb 1:26

  18. The commentators cant be worse than the two northern­ nob-heads who do the WBS/BSB races(hey oop!)
    another­ good combo was Julian with Keith Huewen back in the­ 90s/00s on second thoughts the two we have to endure on­ the Beeb are pretty rancid too.

    From andyganley, on Wed 15 Feb 1:08

  19. Good news is they're showing MotoGP. Bad news is­ they will, as usual, interrupt it with too many­ annoying ad breaks. Makes Euorosport unwatchable for­ me. I'll stick with the Beeeb.

    From David, on Wed 15 Feb 0:21

  20. mr Toby Moody and Julian Ryder are the best in the­ sport it should go live ,glad to hear that both are­ doing keep up the good work
