Help Ditch The BBC's Moto GP Comentators
Hi All
I have just read and signed the online petition:
"Replace The Current BBC MotoGP Commentary Team With Toby Moody, Julian Ryder, & Randy Mamola For 2009"
http://www.PetitionOnline.com/motogp09/
I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might
agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider
signing yourself.
Best wishes,
Nick

Just My opinion

The only thing I wouldn't do to Suzy Perry is replace her!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Interesting to see that the BBC are committed to MotoGP - they've now shifted it to the 'press the red button' channel, so if you
haven't got digital you're not going to see it.
In my case, I was going to record it, but now I can't be *rsed to go and find whichever hidden channel they're shoving it onto so that my
recorder works properly...
(I think it's somewhere around channel 301 onwards...)

Good job I read this, I had it all set to go on BBC2! So I've got channel 301 up & there it is, but the sound is all to cock & assuming
the pictures are right then the race is looking doubtful the way it's tipping it down.

About time the beeb realised that the bikes out shine that farce they call formula 1 any day of the week...

Unfortunately can't really argue with that statement. Rossi awesome again.

The Beeb issued a fairly grovelling web page for cocking-up the MotoGP scheduling...
...I'll forgive them just this once!
Good race too - managed to watch it under the red button thingy. Shame they had to stop it, but when bits of tree get blown across the track then you
KNOW that the wind's a bit too strong!

Was a cracking race by Rossi!
Those presenters do waffle on don't they? I wondered what they were on about several times.
I think they should have stopped the race a good few laps earlier than they did.
It almost seemed like they were trying to let it run to the end, but then decided it had to stop before the American rider got overtaken by the second
Yam. Sorry can't remember names very well.
It looked like the weather was worse at about 10 laps from end, yet they held on until 5 or 6 laps to go before making the decision, even though it
had eased off slightly.
Anyway was an excellent race and I was amazed at the professionalism of the riders under such conditions. Entertaining to the last.

Nothing wrong with Messrs Parrish and Cox
It's usually 301 on the freeview box if pressing the red button is too much trouble for you. If you haven't gone digital by now it's
not the BBCs fault, they showed it on BBC2 at 10.45pm anyway so you could have recorded it then. The power was cut off to the commentator's
screens so they could not see what was happening on track and were having to be updated by the pit staff if you were listening to them. I like to
listen to them, they are both bikers and know what they are on about and come out with some gems from time to time.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I like the Eurosport commentators - not that I have any probs with the BBC lot... I usually turn the sound off while Suzy's waffling on...
As for finding the racing on the BBC channels - I found it and I watched it, so no problem!
