Angry Aaaaarrrrgggg!!!!!

Last year MoTo GP was dropped by the BBC, no problem me thinks, I also have Eurosport which covers the races, albeit with adverts, but still better than nothing.

Was looking ahead to record the race on Sunday and Eurosport aren't covering MoTo GP either!! Motherf**kers!!

Would appear BT Sport have a stranglehold on the GP now Bast^*ds!

Does anyone else in the UK have this problem and is there any way around it?

Sorry for the outburst, but I really needed to have a good rant about this.

I have the same problem Hawk, I asked the beloved to record the race for me because I'm on the rig at the moment and no chance of seeing it because I'm on nights as well.
She has kindly informed me she can't because it's not on any of the millions of channels we have. Not happy.
Not sure what I can do from out here but will have to try and get something sorted once I get home if I can.
Hope you get it sorted Hawk and enjoy the race, it looks like it could be an enthralling season.

Me too guys - free view on me talk talk box only, so maybe snippets of BSB or WSB early on a Sat morning but basically the corporations have robbed us in return for revenue my friends.

I've enjoyed Motogp for years on eurosport with sky, gutted that BT has secured the rights - I either have to pay £12 extra a month to get BT sports through Sky, or change to BT broadband then you get it "free"

I did read somewhere that ITV4 will be able to show race highlights though.

ITV to screen 2014 MotoGP race highlights | MotoGP News

Not the same as being able to watch full live coverage though.

At least you can still watch WSB & BSB on eurosport.......

What pi55es me off is we've been paying for coverage for years and now though we're still paying the same, we're all getting shafted

That's something that gets to me as well. The BBC used to show the MOTO Gp but now they don't but our licences haven't gone down in price.

My beloved has been awesome and has asked around her friends at work and one of them has BT sport and is going to record the race for me and provide the beers when I get home so I can go around there and watch it. I just need to close my eyes so I don't see the result.
