Re: MotoGP to end 'free to air' in UK?
Dont forget rossi may be offski in 2 years time so this could be a double whammy of loss of viewers. Maybe dorna already know this would cause loss of revenue & are bolstering it up with a future deal.

Re: MotoGP to end 'free to air' in UK?
its a done deal ..the move is confirmed to bt vision in 2014. Ben gallop of BBC sport is a twit. Just like F1 where they created a great formula for the coverage, they then go and give up the tv rights.

Re: MotoGP to end 'free to air' in UK?
This move will marginalize MotoGP even further compared with F1.
Not a good move at all

Re: MotoGP to end 'free to air' in UK?
Just as I thought Dorna couldn't muck it up any more, they go and pull this prize rabbit out of the hat.
RIP Motogp! Ah well, at least we still have BSB and at least for now WSB (also Dorna run hum), thought that will likely change... |

According to the BT Sport website, if you are a BT Broadband customer (which I am) then you are entitled to access the channel through Sky or streamed to tablet/pc for free.

Re: MotoGP to end 'free to air' in UK?
Well this has finally made the decision for me to stop sky sports. I dont watch much footy anymore & i can see the PDC darts 'elsewhere'.
Decision will be made when they announce the pricing, bt has the english & scottish games, the 'normal' darts & motogp which is more than sky offer me to watch. I await the announcement of who will do the commentating. Update: £15 for non bt broadband + £3 extra for HD - i can see paying dorna direct for online streaming a viable option.Mind you the full sky sports package is £26.00 a month.

I have BT vision so it won't affect me.
euro sports £2 to stream so no big worries.
