It now looks as though BT have got British Eurosport 1 & 2 from this summer. Considering a very reluctant move to the dark side.
Very good day for the Brits at Donington, a few of my mates went, gutted I couldn't go with them. Did Sam Lowes have a superbike for that race?!!, don't think I've ever seen anyone win a straight race in that class by 11 seconds before, and that was with him messing about for most of the last lap!
TT coverage is on ITV 4 this week from about Thursday, 9pm.

Yeah Saturday at the NW200 was a non event, felt for all who traveled to it as well as teams, riders, sponsors etc. There was no way they could run the races though, parts of the circuit were actually submerged. Still it's the TT soon, hopefully there will be some decent TV coverage of that again this year.
Think most people who have followed Scott Redding's career knew it was only a matter of time before he visited the top step of the Moto2 podium. I honestly believe that if the current rider/weight rule had been part of the series since its inception he would be a multiple race winner by now. He simply hasn't put a wheel wrong this year and I genuinely think he's capable of wining the championship. His most likely title rival Pol Espargaro is under massive pressure now and we know what he tends to do when he's put under that!
Cal was superb as well as you say, especially considering his injury, are Yamaha really going to let him walk...?
Looks like BT Sport have got Red Bull X-Fighters as well from next year :(

]This is worth 4 mins of your life, very interesting insight
Cool, I'll have a little look later I think.
Enjoyed the first couple of races of the NW200 last night...
I thought all the racing was over the weekend, so missed this entirely! Then, on Saturday everything (as good as) was called off! Dammit!
Not a bad GP weekend though! Redding has had that result coming for a long time. Really happy for him - so far he's seemed a lot more controlled in races, let's hope he carries on and we could have a british champion...maybe.
Nice result for Cal too, especially with a bit of a duff leg!

Didn't hear any bias....Lowes was wicked, considering that was the 4th (or was it 5th) attempt to run the race as well. That slot through the 2 riders on the last lap was brilliant - it was almost like he was filtering!
Nor did I, I genuinely believe he would have been just as happy to see the French & Italian guys finishing in front of him! Those Lowes boys have really come of age this year, Sam's last couple of races have been the best of his career IMO.

Enjoyed the first couple of races of the NW200 last night, caught the supersport and superstock races, close exciting stuff. Josh Brookes didn't embarrass himself at all, for a guy with no road racing experience I thought he did extremely well.

Yay!
I think if there's something worthwhile they'll be there next year...
[Woo hoo!
Could be good, the suzuki wasn't that bad when they decided to give up, hopefully the new one (which will debut in one of the mid-season tests) won't be too far off.
With all this good news, it's a shame it's not on the telly.
How good was Sam Lowes on Sunday? Have to admit I did enjoy James Whitham's unbiased commentary!

WSB races were great, close, exciting stuff. Sykes penalty which then apparently wasn't a penalty was a bit of a joke though. Rea deserved better, he rode the wheels off that Honda all weekend, must have been very frustrating for him.
