MotoGP BBC2 22:00 - 23:00 tonight
Mansfield - 5/7/09 at 06:49 PM

Live from Laguna Seca.

Can't be as good as last year's but still well worth watching.

And also being shown live on Eurosport I believe should you prefer their commentary (which personally I do).

Mansfield - 5/7/09 at 06:51 PM

I only have poor man's tv so no Eurosport for me.

Rossi has said in the past that he hates Laguna Seca - but he may have been winding up the opposition!

I think the corkscrew is awesome...

its an hour delay on eurosport, due to stupid rules on airing via terrestrail.

On the plus side, eurosport has proper commentators this weekend...

Live on Eurosport this weekend with Moody ^ Ryder, not delayed as it has been. At least I don't have to listen to the idiots on the BBC....

The qualifying last night was quite spectacular!

it is delayed, by an hour. its on from 23.00 - 00.00

its something to do with the broadcast rights that the governing body gave to satalite stations, they wanted to up the profile, so where only leaving it open to terrestrial stations only. They had a last minute change of heart, but imposed the "not live" rule.

They do tend to do a pretty cool reply of a classic race, I hope its last years laguna!!

Molt be Dani !!


blakep82 - 5/7/09 at 09:57 PM

was a bit rushed from the start of the show to the start of the race wasn't it?!

David Jenkins - 6/7/09 at 07:46 AM

It was a cr@p production from start to finish...

BBC schedule overran, so they barely managed to get the race start, then all the way through you couldn't hear the commentary for bike noise. I'd prefer that there wasn't any commentary, but half-heard words are doubly annoying.

The last few corners were interesting though - Rossi nearly made it through!

It was definitely live on Eurosport last night and not delayed like the normal races.

Which is what I said...and I watched it from the 10pm start. But some people know better
