    Well, the rights are with Prime for the MotoGP still.

    So anything could happen. If we all spam Sky we may get a response.

    Could somebody please post the email address?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Ha

    good luck with those dickheads at Sky TV. Gave up my subscription a couple of years ago when they couldn't make up their mind as to wether they would televise the AMA motocross or not (for two years running).

    Their response received today from SKY.

    Thank you for your email and please accept my apology for the late reply.

    Sky TV will have the World Superbike with the first race on Saturday 24th February from Qatar with both races Live, we will also have coverage of Supersport. At present Moto GP is yet to be confirmed if will show on Sky TV for 2007.

    Kind regards,

    So if you want to see MotoGP in 2007 - spam SKY TV: now!

    Did mine now.

    Dear Sky TV.
    I am hoping that you will show both the World Superbikes and MotoGP races this year.
    It is great that you have had Superbikes the last couple of years and it was wonderful that Prime had MotoGP. As SKY TV now owns Prime I sincerely hope that this fantastic and enormously popular event continues either on Prime or one of your other Sports channels.
    Yours

    The chances of SKY bringing MotoGP to us are pretty slim and if you haven't grovelled, begged, implored, pleaded SKY TV: you can't complain when it is announced officially that nothing is what you will get.

    After the decision is made it is VERY unlikely that a change of mind will occur - so do it NOW before it is too late!

    Response (Lucilla King) - 15/01/2007 11.04 AM
    Dear Simon Gotlieb,

    Thank you for your email.

    Sky will have Superbikes for 2007 with our first coverage next month with both races Live from Qatar and other races Live where possible. The Moto GP is yet to be confirmed who will have rights for 2007 and at present cannot confirm if Sky TV will have broadcasting rights as well.

    Kind regards,

    A mix would be good... delayed so that it's on at a consistent time... but not delayed till 1 in the morning, if you know what I mean.

    Dear Cleve Brown,

    Thank you for your email.

    Superbikes will definitely be on Sky Sports with both races LIve from Qatar in February and other races Live where possible. The Moto GP is yet to be confirmed who will have rights to broadcast for 2007 but hopefully this can be confirmed as soon as possible.
