All i can say is im gutted, the British eurosport coverage of the GP's i thought was first class, i think the BBC will have a hard job to provide as good a coverage/format, and as for bettering the commentary team of Toby Moody, Julian Ryder and Randy Mamola, they've got no chance. There must of been a shed load of cash passing hands between the BBC to Dorna ....

Cheers Jeff

That's bleeding shame. If I miss the GP it's always on Eurosport later in the week.
Don't like the BBC i Player, it's just a huge download with restrictions on how long you have to watch.

e-mail Dorna, my wife has, along with thousands of others complaining. I don't know if it will make a difference but i don't believe in apaphy.

BBC bike coverage is crap and it will never be as good as Eurosport.

I only ever watch Eurosport. The BBC commentary box doesnt have the passion or the knowledge of the Eurosport one. I would much rather see Randy Mamola partolling the pits, than an ex-model who really only gets an interview by showing a bit of flesh, or wearing tight fitting leather trousers (bit harsh maybe, but this is a subject im passionate about!)

It's a damn shame, Randy (Dooocarty) Mamola is the best thing on it.

BBC coverage is boring.

I agree with you Neil, if you are referring to Suzy Perry, yawn! Get rid of her and bring in that Janie woman sorry I can remember her surname probably because I can't spell it.

Yeah that's the one! She did the TT coverage with that fat fella that used to do some car show.

So, maybe we could have a best of both - BBC have NO ADVERTS, but combine that with the Eurosport commentary & Randy?

I have to say I do like the Charlie/Stavros banter but Suzy does seem to think wearing boots everywhere will get her what she wants. Janie does have the advantage of being a serious biker biker being the test rider for the Sun, well ok not that serious but you know what I mean.

Hahahaha! Ive gotten used to those Wudy and Suzuki adverts! Seeing Alex Del Piero ride around on a bergmann is pretty funny. But I really do want an office chair that leans like the one off the Suzuki advert.

She is alrite on The Gadget Show on C5, but not with bikes. Shes just a brollie girl with a microphone.

Hey, lay off Suzy. Okay she's not the best when it comes to bike coverage but she's got M.I.L.F written all over*.

* If she has children of course.

Don't know if she's got a fella even, so you could be in there! I like Suzy but it's just the look at me in my boots brushing my hair out of my eyes thing that bugs me. Obviously I'm not seeing it the way you guys do! I just get the feeling she's being patronized.

The only thing I would change about the Eurosport coverage is the ad breaks during the race. Now considering Eurosport dont fleece us for over £135 per year for the priviledge of having TeleVisual equipment, I for one could put up with the ad breaks mid-race.

Brilliant. I'll have to get her number, Gremlin.

Crust was speaking to Jane (can't remember her surname even though in thread) on the way back from WDW and she seemed a top lady.

All depends on her positioning.

I think her being an ex-gladiator, she would do more riding than you...........................

She could probably do a lot more of everything than me, Neil.

She certainly has a stunning CV, and clever too, some people! Think from a girly perspective Janey is the better option, she's more down to earth and not trying to be a glamour puss even though she's stunning! She's a real action girl too by the sound of it.

Same here. Not that I would feel too inadequate.......... Much!

I've got kids - does that mean I could be a F.I.L.F??????????????????

Naturally I couldn't comment but I am sure there are plenty of women in Swindonia on a Friday night who would put you into that category.

How many ciders?

I've noticed he's been a bit quite recently.

Clearly he's getting his meals and cans opened for him on a daily basis now.

What about getting the BSB back on 'normal' TV.. Channel 4 at stupid o'clock... :banghead:

And don't let Jayne oggybooogy anywhere near a race circuit...

(If anyone still has the first Brands Hatch race on tape/DVR from 2006, watch the interview with her and Michael Rutter, god that's cringeworthy!!)

Already done it, for all the use it will do.
Maybe the bbeb will take on some of the Eurosport team?
