I just wonder why they bother to call it 'Brisish Eurosport'

(I used to watch on motogp.com untill the .......s started tearing out a new ....... for subscription 99€ for intermittent coverage 'kin'ell)

Eurosport are showing a recorded FP2 around 4pm today, but are showing the qualifying live tomorrow and race live on Sunday (BBC are also covering the race live).

BBC with twot parrish and his botty buddy is ok if you turn off sound, listening to the truck driver who's only claim to fame was knowing barry sheene is enough to make you puke!

I assume that's GMT + 1 = British summer time?
At least the schedule on tv here looks like MotoGp race start at 16:00 CET, but that equals to GMT + 2

british eurosport's coverage of motogp has gone downhill over the years imo. i hardly ever get to see free practice or quali anymore and there are not many repeats. tennis euro football ect all get preference these days. i think its time to give the contract to a new channel like sky. toby anf juels are self employed so someone like sky my take them on.
