Owing to a recent announcement from DORNA, the rights holders for moto gp broadcasting, and their decision to award the BBC sole rights in the UK to show moto gp I feel it necessary to bring to your attention the fact that, with losing eurosport, we would surely have compromised coverage of all 3 classes of grand prix motorcycling and also lose the simply irreplaceable commentary from Toby Moody, Julian Ryder and Randy Mamola. These men are truly stars and make watching the great racing on the track even better.

Does BBC stand for Bloody Boring Commentary?

who are the guys on speed? i like 'em but they sound like limeys...:rolleyes:

well, at least maybe an aussie/NZ and a spainyard with the odd color commentator thrown in...

The super AMPED guy you hear on Speed is Toby Moody. Julian is also English but pronounces the Spanish lisp for some the riders names (Laren"tho" for Larenzo). The guys at the BBC aren't half bad though and would still be better than Greg white. I'll bet the BBC will hire Toby to keep the same feeling for the coverage.

greg white should have a stick shoved up his ass and then he should be used to beat the other american commentators to death. except for the ex racers, schwantz, and spencer. everybody else gets beaten to death with the greg-on-a-stick.

lol!

Yeah it's too bad that the southern born racers (Spencer and Schwantz) are so damn slow or dull in race commentary. At least northern Cal born Randy Mamola can keep pace with the race and add some exceitment.

And don't get me wrong I'm not southern bashin. I was born in Texas and have lived in Louisiana for a spell. It's jes thut some folks jes aint fit fer commentin on thangs what goes fast.....yep!
