[Yorick]

This is good news as I love their coverage. Not sure about Laverty, but we'll soon find out

Just about the only reason I keep BT Sport.

Not so good news when you live in Hull with KCOM, having no access to BT we have to have Sky then pay again to receive BT Sport through Sky, just to watch MotoGP. It was costing us £50 a month, we didn’t need Sky and was only interested in MotoGP from the sports available.
I ditched both and now watch it on my EE iPhone 6 for £5 a month.

I dumped BT ages ago, mainly enraged by them pushing MotoGP aside for just about any other sport it clashed with. Been using a direct sub with MotoGP ever since. The beauty is it can be viewed lived or at any other time to suit myself.

I did miss Julian, though he might have been on his last legs and the big motor mouthed tossed with him spoiled it.

 

[TheTwoOfUs]

I think Julian has now retired and not before time in my opinion.

Me too!.

Yeah me too

The first year was a shambles and I was pissed off Eurosport lost it (Toby Moody fan here) but since then their coverage has just got better and better.

Laverty - - will join the continuing Suzi Perry, Craig Doyle, Colin Edwards, Neil Hodgson, James Toseland, Keith Huewen and Gavin Emmett.

Which is equally as good news!

Well, Suzy Perry we can do without, I'm not a Huewen fan either, but Toseland, Hodgey and Edwards are a cracking team

 

[hilldweller]

(Toby Moody fan here)

Was it Julian, Toby and Randy ?

Wasn't there a Yank commentator in the mix once ?

Those were really good days.

That and the mans game of Rugby

Happy to do without Perry, Doyle and Tousland to be honest.

Does Tousland have a bet he can have the most stupid hair cut of the day going on with Hodgey

 

[Yorick]

Well, Suzy Perry we can do without,

yeah, she's rubbish

Loads more here ...

 

[Silver-Fox]

She may be reasonably fit but that doesn’t make her good at commentating

 

[chesterfield hooligan]

Suzy Perry not got a clue comes to mind when doing F1 as well.

 

[Vanman]

Last year BT covered the pre-season testing. This year so far they have not bothered. Not a great sign in my book

She's a helluva lot more clued up on F1 and MotoGP than most of us. The riders respect her enough to give interviews.

 

[RogerThat]

I'm still gutted Dovi missed out on the title last year, he did sooooo well!!

So, Rossi for title # 10 or do we think he's been surpassed?

 

[hilldweller]

I thought she was great in the early Rossi days, she was like his big sister, got some really good interviews with him.

 

[hilldweller]

Not a chance. Still brilliant but the young bloods will push the limits he knows his old body won't like.

Toby Moody is very knowledgable , but hard to listen too, I was gutted when Julian Ryder said he was quitting, but talking to him at the weekend, we haven't heard the last of him , which is good. Dennis Noyes used to be the American guy that was in there sometimes ... Huewen does a decent job, he knows the sport and his broadcasting skills are as good as they need to be. He talks to a knowledgeable audience in a way that still imparts info to all levels.

Toseland does my head in.

Toseland's haircuts do my head in.

Fixed that for you

 

[PhilG]

Fixed that for you

Even listening to him is hard work

On the Flip side , I remember seeing Toby and Jules do their season review on Eurosport , and thought how much of a face for radio Jules had, but couldn't stop laughing at Toby gurning for dramatic effect.

 

[Ivory55]

I will have to wait till the Monday night and pretend it’s Sunday. Haha

 

[injebreck99]

I used to like Randy. Mamola’s input as well, also Neil Spaldings technical information, cannot say I’ll miss Julian Ryder though, a full on waffler IMO, if any other commentator brought something up, he would always say, “ I was just going to say that “, he also repeated things week in week out as well.

 

[RogerThat]

Oh yes, forgot about Spalding chipping in from time to time

Didn't he go off to make Sigma slipper clutches or something?!

[injebreck99]

Yes he did, still does I think.

 

[hilldweller]

I found him OK but the kids doing it today drive me mad, there's one that I have to turn the sound off. He seems to think they'll sack him if he ever takes a breath and every hint of action he's like a girl with her first orgasm, nearly melting the speakers.

This prick might be teamed up with Steve Parrish. Now Steve is as laid back as they get has a great sense of humour, then the prick cuts in using works like they are on special offer. I emailed Steve and asked if he could accidentally kill the prick, it must be hell to work with him and he came back with "I've been married twice, I can cope".
