Eurosport loses MotoGP
June 29th, 2008Disaster for Dorna Sports: a decision to hand over the TV rights for MotoGP to the BBC has been met with howls of derision with European (and worldwide if website forums posts are to be understood) motorcycle racing fans. The BBC have long-standing sketchy coverage of MotoGP. The commentary team of Steve Parish and Charlie Cox (an Australian British Saloon Car champion and British GT champion, note: car) are widely regarded as very poor, they have never given airtime to the 125 and 250 classes (let’s face it-that’s where the real racing has been of late) and frequently cut the coverage in favour of other sports.
Dorna Sports has announced that the 2008 MotoGP World Championship will be the last to be broadcast by Eurosport.
“After many years of successful collaboration, MotoGP rights-holders Dorna Sports would like to announce that coverage of the MotoGP World Championships will no longer be available on Eurosport from the 2009 season,” read a statement from Dorna.
“Dorna would like to thank Eurosport for a partnership which has been of mutual benefit for several years, having helped take MotoGP to new levels of popularity and coverage whilst also offering the pan-European broadcaster impressive viewing figures.
I agree that the British Eurosport commentary line-up of Toby Moody, Julian Ryder and former 500cc star Randy Mamola is one of the best in the business. Eurosport’s full-on live coverage often includes all three days at each grand prix: practice, qualifying and race day.
Will the BBC do the same? I predict not.
