    I was quite happy to pay £5.00 a month to see the races live. I'd pay more if I had too as I hate watching just the highlights , I love watching all the free practice and qualifying as well as the races. I don't pay for any other services ie Sky etc so I reckon it's a bargain:)

    I must admit, I did a Sir Trev and cancelled on principle and missed it ever since,
    I have heard Sky are going to do a deal with BT so here’s hoping

    Not a brilliant GP yesterday, but I really felt for Cal getting a ride through for a "Jump Start" (Cost him 25 seconds:() i saw the side on view in slow motion and it didn't look like one to me..very harsh decision no wonder he isn't happy

    What race did you watch that I didn’t? Excluding Marquez the race for second was great.
    I think everyone is looking at Marquez without realising this is quite probably the greatest racer of our generation,and I’ve been following GP’s since the Swantz era.

    Plus awesome to see the race for second was secured by the former greatest racer of our generation.and that’s not disrespectful it’s just Marquez has moved the game another level upwards

    There was a several overtakes for 2nd place but It wasn't what I would call a nail biting race? I'm sure there were battles going on further down the field but I didn't see much.for a long time Schwantz was my favourite..until I saw Marquez in the 125s it was obvious even then that he was something special

    Well,beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I really enjoyed that race but found Qatar uneventful.
    The best part of bikes is always what one man sees another doesn’t, even when riding the same bike

    Still enjoyed the race even although i didn't think it was a classic,I must admit I prefer when there are multiple guys battling with each other and plenty of fairing bashing!

    When will the commentators learn that you can never predict what will happen in MotoGP, they were all guessing who would be 2nd:rolleyes: after MMs unfortunate off the race turned into a cracker,well chuffed for Rins, i think this year could well be Rossis best chance of getting his 10th title,all it takes is Marquez to have another few DNFs ..or the chain coming off again,seems wierd that it happened to Lorenzo too:confused:

    The title of this thread is..Moto GP There could/will be spoilers! if they havn't seen the race they shouldn't be looking here!
    great moto 3 like you say Dave, Keith hewan is brilliant when he gets all excited and hats of to him for not saying an Englishman won!
    I think Quartararo could well be the guy to stop Marquez's dominance,just think if he wasn't unlucky in qualifying ..Le mans would have erupted if he had won!

    I was waiting for you to post something first Dougie just in case you hadn’t seen the race or the result as John is a member of your tribe ;):)

    Fantastic win for John and the team, a really nice guy and top professional, he deserved the win.

    Keith H I like and can remember him in his race days, he really does get excited and I think he’s a big plus for bt sport.

    i remember Keith when he was commentating on Foggy..i can still hear him now shouting "Foggy"!!I only really got into bike racing when Sky tv came along, so I don't remember him racing,i couldn't believe the coverage and the footage Sky tv were showing,up until then all i saw was the odd bit on tv, with a few cameras dotted around the circuit..i remember Barrys famous "Wave" to Kenny though:D

    Me and dad took our street triple and speed triple to Le Mans for the race, can highly recommend it for a good ride out, even got to ride some of the 24hr track on our way to the grandstand!
