simple, the bbc did not uphold the bargain. they refused to offer 125 and 250 racing live on the terrestrial channel, this is why eurosport can show the 125 and 250 races live and have the motogp delayed to complete the series.

if the motogp racing gets massively delayed eurosport can show the race live, its a strange arrangement

So true. That Kirby fool is always talking over interesting events with stupid little monologues on the subject of how someone must be feeling, and largely using loads of poorly spoken and ill-considered words to say absolutely nothing at all. I think Haydon would be okay with a commentator that isn't completely out of his depth so that he doesn't have to say as much.

There was a good article on this very topic in this month's BIKE magazine iirc.

Worth waiting for the delayed MotoGP broadcast when Kirby and Haydon are the commentators it most certainly is not.

for an ex-racer i find haydon surprising incorrect with his comments, he keeps bigging things up. maybe he should do the same with his commentating career as he did with his racing career.

i find the bbc aussie has a little more knowledge than haydon, and he is not a former motorcycle racer.

What's with Carlton Kirby's litle catchphrase of '17 laps to go, 16 next time by' all about? Especially when he says it EVERY LAP FFS!!

I sincerely hope Julian, Toby & Randy come back next year. The Catalunya race would have been even more amazing if they'd been commentating at the time...

Probably because he can't think of anything else to say, so he just mutters useless infomation that we already know.

So every commentators' secret is finally out!

If I wanted a commentator to describe what's happening, I'd listen to the radio. I want someone who can add to what I'm seeing (my eyes work OK), and also shut up for a bit if needs be.

I'm far from an expert but I find all commentators tiresome for the most part. The moments of genuine interest and insight seem increasingly rare
