BT Sport has won the TV rights for MotoGP from 2014 in a five-year deal, after a decade of coverage on the BBC.
Does this mean its all gonna change? My Dad thinks they will change all the rules. What do you guys think? |

"Oh god..... This is like when itv won the F1 contract it was never the same on itv. And now sky sports has ruined that too!!!!!"

Agreed I'm the same give me motor sport over anything else any other day... I'm with virgin and gutted over it all, but in all honesty I wouldn't pay to watch something that was once free, I'm still a diehard F1 fan and watch every bit I can on BBC even if it means recording it. I just hope the BBC don't sell the rights to BTCC |

actually i must be the only person who thinks sky have done a not bad job with the F1... you get way more coverage than you would have before on the bbc....
I don't think the bbc do a bad job with moto gp... just as i am sure bt sport will do a good job, I tended to watch the eurosport coverage...
just like with the cycling.... even though sky are doing coverage of the cycling season... i tend to watch the eurosport coverage..

We have just got eurosport so we can watch the speedway GP, we are with virgin and it wasnt much money. we also love F1 but dont have sky sports now, we used to but it was such a lot of money for crap coverage usually, we did watch footy on it too but in the end simply couldnt afford it
there seems to be a pay as you view thing for sky sports now called NOW, just wondering how good that is ? |

I think you'll find that British Eurosport have been cut out of MotoGP too.
Dorna have gone from the Beeb and Eurosport, who between them had several million viewers, to BT sport who apparently has just 600,000 subscribers.... Nowt to do with promoting the sport, just taking the £8 millon and stuffing it into a pocket. Nice one Dorna!! |

you'll find BT sport will be doing their channels.. and ESPN which they bought as well... it will end up on all digital platforms (Sky and virgin) |

the real question is going to be how much are they going to charge...... I know they have said their channels will be free to people who take any of their broadband options.....
I am trying to now work out if it is going to be more "cost effective" to keep the sky for tv only... and swap the broadband and phoneline to bt.... |

I'm gonna have a look at the new options, just always been happy with Virgin and not sure if its worth the messing about changing providers  |
