today 9pm according to the motogp website.

It's being run sometime this evening - available on the Beeb red button, or via their iPlayer (through the BBC sports pages).

I'm already really unimpressed with the Beeb's coverage - first they shove it on BBC3, then they put a total pillock in as first commentator, all their production standards seem cr*p... I get the impression that they're not interested.

Perhaps "Britain's got no talent" is more their line...

Same here, been a long wait to get my moto gp fix then it goes and rains in the desert....

it would never have rained if it had still been on british eurosport

My son and his fiancée went on holiday to North Africa... did a day trip into the Sahara desert... it pee'd down all the time they were there - first rain they'd had for about 3 years!

He announcer was a pillock before the race was cancelled!

For example, going down the grid a few minutes before the start, trying to interview the riders... each one of them looked really annoyed!

ah, i didn't see that bit, but was it maybe just because suzi perry's been off sick? rushed into hospital apparently, think she's due back in about 3 weeks?

F1 and MotoGp has same illness........................


Greedy organisers muffed up big time, you cant organise the local climate

wasn't moto gp on bbc last year? i can't remember

greggors84 - 13/4/09 at 01:23 PM

Re run on Eurosport 2 UK at 6.45pm

Who are the commentators on BBC this year? I thought the Beebs coverage was very good last year. Might have to switch to Eurosport if its turned rubbish as they arnt too bad.

The racing commentators are the same - they're ok - it's the bloke who does the pre- and post-race stuff who's a spare part...
