I was one of those who complained on the BBC website­ that Sunday morning after their so called­ 'coverage' had finished.
Bloody disgusting that­ they can't show the full coverage - it should be­ returned to Eurosport to do a better job.

The BBC shoud do the honourable thing and give up the­ right to broadcast Moto GP. If this had happened to­ the dull as dishwater F1 the F1 organisers would not­ have stood for it and the BBC would have been punished­ for a contractural breach.
It is time Dorna understood­ that the self opinionated and anti motorcycle BBC do­ not like motorbike racing and will never do anything to­ promote the sport. Dorna, terminate this horrendous­ agreement with the BBC right now.

I noticed that BBC channel 302 is closed to allocat­ bandwith to Freview HD.
They say, but we await their­ "do", that the red button is still available.­ Now how are we going to record the 125 and MotoGP2­ next year? Or at Valencia. Or in the middle of the­ night? Football will bump the coverage to this mythical­ red button which cannot be accessed by channel number,­ if MotoGP is available at all there. I have a Philips­ Pronto remote (does more than the BBC can imagine). ­ That might do it, but only if I record as many channels­ as available, which I won't know at the time of­ programming. Satellite coverage gives more alternative­ red buttons but you can't get at them (on Sky­ anyway)
So Freesat? The PVR that can record the whole­ multiplex is not yet designed.
We are left with­ iPlayer NOT - The BBC haven't put 125 & MotoGP2­ on it, least ways I don't see it at present. And am­ unlikely even if I had broadband at home. In addition­ to my licence fee, I may have to pay a levy for the­ broadband I don't have.
Nice on UK Gov.

Sorry that i have not read all the comments above but i­ do have some very strong opinions regarding this­ topic.

I am going try and not make this too long and­ boring.
From the start of this season it was a shambles­ to be honest, a very half hearted attempt at displaying­ the worlds greatest motorbike event. Not only the bad­ coverage but the commentary, harsh but true i even hear­ these comments from people that are just getting into­ motogp.

Dont tell me that you guys believe the lame­ excuses from the bbc. Absolute RUBBISH.
So BBC1 which­ was showing a non live program (match of the day) chose­ to ditch the gp. How many channels do they run, what­ happened to all the interactive channels. I'll tell­ you, they were showing bbc proms (live music event­ various artist) on both and they were'nt even live,­ they have been replaying the whole week.

Dont let me­ start on the 125cc, 250cc classes. NO MORE EXCUSES.­ DORNA FIX UP.

It's not all bad tho.... There are 2 postive things­ about the BBC's coverage:-

1. Suzi Perry. You­ can't take it away from her lads, she's a­ looker and more importantly, she definitely knows her­ s*&t when it comes to Moto GP.

2. The picture­ quality is better on the BBC. However I only watch the­ bits before and after the race, cos as much as I like­ the picture, I can't do them two clown race­ commentators. They just seem to fumble their way­ through the race dropping in the odd embarasing­ comment. They always seem to spot the­ overtaking/crashes etc.. way after everybody else has­ already spotted them.

While I'm here Mr Eurosport,­ Can somebody tell me why in the UK we have Eurosport HD­ and not ONCE this year have we had a single Moto GP­ race in it? That was one of my main reasons for­ purchasing SKY HD in the first place. Last year they­ showed the classic Laguna Seca in HD but now It seems­ Eurosport also doesn't think Moto GP is good enough­ for their premium channel. We did however finally get­ some bike racing last Sunday. It was one of the final­ WSBK­ races...................

........................Clear­ ly there was no live cycling, tennis, rugby, rowing,­ athletics, under 21's football, knitting or world­ championship line dancing goin on that day.

Im really not surprised at all about the BBC's­ alleged "commitment" to Moto GP and it's­ also Ironic that Match Of The Day was mention in their­ statement.

I was watching MoTD the other Saturday when­ between games, Mr Lineker mentioned the live coverage­ of the Philip Island Moto GP which was on the following­ morning. I looked at the stock photo they used and it­ was of Danny Pedrosa on his honda cranked over in a­ bend (with number 26 on the front) and Nicky­ Hayden......... on his Honda behind him... Now last­ time I looked BBC, Nicky rode a big red Ducati. He has­ for a full season now and btw Danny hasn't worn 26­ all season either, he uses the number 3 now. You­ can't even be bothered to put a more accurate/up to­ date picture up. How simples is that to do? Not a big­ thing I know, but Is this the commitment level we have­ all expected? Would you advertise Formula 1 to the­ british public and show a pic of Lewis Hamilton in a­ Go-Kart or Formula 3 car? Come on BBC get with it, show­ the commitment you promised us at the start of the­ season!!!

I like this part of the excuse they made,

The Formula­ One qualifying session in Interlagos was treated­ exactly the same as this particular MotoGP race. The­ Formula One was moved to BBC Two after already­ displacing the scheduled time for Strictly Come­ Dancing. The delay in moving the Formula One was due to­ the fact we had to wait for an available slot in BBC­ Two schedules.”

Yes they moved the QUALIFYING !! so­ what who gives a @#$% ,if that was the race they would­ not have moved it.

BBC should never have bid for the contract if they did­ not want to show ALL the races live plus a re-run. To­ not show the celebration podium and interviews when­ someone (whether Valentino or not) has won the world­ championship is a disgrace. What a disappointment all­ because some people who could have stayed up a little­ later on Saturday night would rather watch Match of the­ Day - the next day!!

Good idea, put on BBC3 OR BBC4 the tree races 125 &­ 250 and GP plus Julian & and Toby,

cant the bbc ­ respont

Lets have it back on eurosport, at least julian and­ toby know what they're talking about and make it­ both factual and fun, and all the people who say­ "i haven't got cable etc" well then­ you're not really a fan then are you?- REPSOL ROSS

i miss the half of it cause i had it recorded on bbc1­ on sky box and they change it over half way through­ it,was annoyed over it,miss the end of it,thought­ motogp has right to show it all on one station even it­ was delayed

now here is an interesting point.
.
Last weekend was­ the end of BST so I set my PVR's to switch on at­ 3am for 5 minutes to be sure that the clock had seen­ the time time signal and reset itself.
.
I am not sure­ this worked. Was I too clever for myself and the BBC­ not as clever? Either way My hour before did not quite­ cover the start of one race.
.
perhaps I sould write to­ feedback at the bbc. It might be broadcast on the­ radio at 13.30 Fri on Radio4 - it might - but do the­ BBC listen to their own programmes?

Oh it is worse than that. I have a two tuner PVR plus­ a single tuner PVR and on a w/e with SBK on­ International Eurosport & WRC it gets a bit­ impossible to record everything - except Robbie­ Williams for the 20th time. Like a fool, I believed­ the EPG it said channel 301(one of yer red buttons) was­ braodcasting qualifying. They switched channels (or­ couldn't be arsed to program the EPG properly). ­ Then on Race day I recorded 301 & 302 and bits of­ BBC 1 or 2 to cover the MotoGP race, then again at 12­ pm. Channels 301 and 302, by then, were listed as­ showing 125 & 250 - both (because my Humax will­ display information back to midnight). Needless to say­ the channel I might have chosen was wrong (Robbie­ Williams for the 30th time (no exageration)), but the­ other recording (titled RW because that's what it­ said at the time of setting) was the desired­ programme.

Needless to say I record about an hour­ before and several hours after the stated times because­ of eventuallities like rain. Something I learned to do­ with Eurosport coverage long since. It is the nature of­ the beast that is "broadcasters" and live­ events also can run over.

Now if we were talking about­ football, we would not be having this kind of­ conversation.

Why the hell can't the BBC use BBC3 or 4 to­ broadcast motogp in the afternoon. Neither are used­ during the day!

the really GOOD thing about sepang was NO suzy perry­ .the ultimate *keep that camera on me* poser. the BBC­ could save loads of money by sacking her and that­ annoying aussie commentator who is useless.

Imagine the national outrage if the beeb had actually­ dumped match of the day or the Andrew Marr show for­ some noisy people on bikes. What a nation of­ Bell'ends we really are !! It's no wonder we­ have had very little world class GP riders in the last­ few decades.
Why is it that our nations media spend­ staggering amounts of time and money covering sports­ which we are generally useless at and virtually ignore­ the sports we do happen to be good at. Just look at­ Bradley, Scott and Danny, some of the finest racing­ talent to come out of the UK in years........Did i say­ UK there ? Sorry i meant to say Spain !!

l'm not whinging l pay pay good money for my tv­ lience ....l'm not bothered about the pre race­ stuff or the interveiws ..l just want to see proper­ coverage of the race ........please BBC answer please­ !!!1

BBC coverage of motogp is absolutely @#$%, It is­ unexcuseable the way they dealt with probably the most­ important race in the calender, F1 & Bernie would­ NOT let them get away with it, He'd take the rights­ away so Dorna is to blame also, but they edged their­ bets by letting EUROSPORT cover motogp

bbc red button is @#s% in freeview very dispointing,­ why carnt the bbc repeapt the 125 and 250 same as they­ repeat the moto gp .Spanish tv have really good­ coverage ...they repeat the races tthree or four times
