[johan]

I'm going to buy the weekend package from motogp.com so that I can stream all sessions live to my TV.

[Duke girl]

:angry: Bloody Typical Sky Sport, You pay to have the Sport Channel so you get to watch the Moto GP Live and then find out that the coverage is going to be delayed, Bloody Pathetic.
And yet if it was the V8's there wouldn't be a problem.
Pull your finger out SKY SPORT and give us what we want and what we pay for A Motorcyle Racing Channel uninterupted 24/7 :woohoo:.
Maybe l should go and work for them by that way there would be more Motorcycle Racing on TV then what there is at present.
So what do you reckon???????????

[Crasherfromwayback]

Just checked sky listings and PI is delayed until midnight :sick:

I'll be watching it live on MotoGP.com. And Stoner had better fucking win!

Why don't they give it to free to air so that they only have rugby on sky!!

[Kendog]

Unfortunately we are wanting to watch a minority sport.
All three of the other sports being shown live will have a much greater viewing number, even cricket without NZ playing would probably be higher than motorcycle racing.

[Robert Taylor]

Just checked sky listings and PI is delayed until midnight :sick:

Shouldnt be a problem for you to miss it as you are not a Lorenzo fan. Given that he has now won a thoroughly deserved world title the gloves will be off and he will likely smoke everyone

[eelracing]

I bet there's a certain Italian hoping he (Lorenzo)will be let off the leash too.

This season aint over yet,you could say next years ground war starts now.:woohoo:

[Rcktfsh]

Ha he's just a boy, Rossi will smash him good its Stoner I reckon will be the hardest for Rossi to beat.

[kittytamer]

There is 1 hour of MotoGP live delayed at 3pm on Sunday as well as the full programe at bloody midnight.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Hope they have a ding dong like they did last year! I was there for that, and it was awesome to see.

[steve_xland]

I thought Sunday's viewing was pretty darn good...
TV3 had Bathurst all day, then immediately after that the F1 started Live on Sky.
Immediately after that the MOTOGP from Sepang was on Live on the other SKY Sport channel.

I bought sky only for the Motor Racing. Rugby will always take a backseat to Motorsports in my house and Sunday was awesome.
However, I don't missing the odd race now & then but it is a shame that a Race Live in our own Sunday time slot from Phillip Island should not be shown live.

[Robert Taylor]

Ha he's just a boy, Rossi will smash him good its Stoner I reckon will be the hardest for Rossi to beat.

A boy that stayed upright and won the war, yes.

Yea you are totally correct. He is the champ and has won it so convicingly also.

I think the general cencus is that he is such an arrogant tosser and because of this personal atribute, many would prefer someone else leading the pack.

Personally I am hoping to see Spies become a serious challenger next year. Totally dig that guys attitude.

They've got a fricken rugby channel, put all rugby onto it so we dont have to put up with it.
Grrrr

Sorry Shane its totally Lorenzoland in our workshop. Now that Rossi has defected to that funny Iti team ''he was never any good anyway''
Watch out for Spies next year, great attitude ( for a Yank ) and great riding style. No brazen ego which is great, he just gets on with it.
Given also that Honda ditched Showa they are now also competitive.

Nah bro seems like Yamaha are clutching at straws already.

Jarvis kinda forgets Stoner won on a Duke their first year together...same as Rossi/Yamaha.
These boys know what to expect.Jorge is goin to have to pay his shrink double to handle that pressure.

Seems to me unless they find some motor,the only thing Yamaha will be developing is cobwebs.

[cs363]

Sorry Shane its totally Lalaland in our workshop.

There, fixed... :whistle:

[Crasherfromwayback]

The Yamaha didn't look too bad at Sepang compared to the Honda now I thought.

[roogazza]

The Yamaha didn't look too bad at Sepang compared to the Honda now I thought.

That uprated motor seems to have helped. But it may take a little time for the Rossi affect to wear off the Yamaha.
So many things to watch next year.

ps Just heard 08.40am. severe weather is expected at PI and there is every chance it could be called off if the predicted weather arrives.

[Movistar]

At least they're showing the qualifying at 3.45pm on Saturday - Live on SS3.

And a small (but entertaining) consolation is the FIM from Sweden is on Sunday morning at 11.00am...

The really annoying thing is they're airing the highlights at 9.00pm on Sunday (Channel 33) before they even show the whole race :facepalm:

[CHOPPA]

Yessssss! Im faster then lorenzo! Provided he is on a wet track and im a dry one hahaha

[Crasherfromwayback]

Yessssss! Im faster then lorenzo! Provided he is on a wet track and im a dry one hahaha

I'd be lucky to be faster than Lorenzo if he was on a bicycle!

[NZsarge]

who cares about bike racing when it's raining !

Raining? Really? Bugger got mates riding down that way today, will just about be at Rimutex by now, was thinking of heading down the east side to meet up with them at some point, they're heading down to do the southern point of the 4 points rally (Lake Ferry) and then back up this way.
By the way I appreciate your taste in women but i'm sure you meant to sensor that, not that i'm bothered by it though... Just saying..

Oh sweet, there you go, getting the wrong end of the stick again.. Yes she was a bit of alright for sure, bit skinny but I was kick her out of the sack for farting! I wasn't asking you to take the pic down by the way I was just thinking you might get infracted without some sensorship but by all means keep posting pics of nubile, pretty, clothing challenged women. Far be it from me to complain. :laugh: :niceone:

No probs, I had a rethink anyway (forgot where i was) haha.

Still hoping it'll turn fine for the GP.

[Shaun P]

That is disgraceful, it is live on ch ten in aus sat and sun, think as many as poss should complain to make them wake their ideas up :facepalm: I will be and I dont live in NZ at the mo

[Ivan]

what pisses me off they need all 3 channels for rugby and then rugby chanel also has one of those games live as well. Who wants to watch a bunch of men running running in skin tight clothes grabbing one another then rushing off for a shower together afterwards

hmmmm........other homos

[TCN]

What pisses me off is the fact that both the Rugby Channel and Sky Sport 1 have exactly the same programming covering the exact time that the GP would have been on. Two lots of ITM cup followed by an All Blacks announcement, both channels, 2.30pm to 7.30pm.
The one chance we get to see a GP race at a normal time of day (i.e. not friggin 3am), they screw us round. F**kn bunch of Asshats

I just watched the warm up session where Stoner used the track as a drifting circuit

Fuck yeah. Just like last year. Through the fastest scariest corner they have, tapped out in 4th, on the lock stops at 240kph!

Cum guard and a gutter/drainage system, the amount of :tugger: you get up to! :lol:

The breathalyser would be a bloody good idea, you seem to be developing yet another nasty habit.... :D

On another note, Maxwell didn't last long in Moto2 did he?! :shit:

[MattTLR]

Just sent a bitch to Sky - bloody sick of their slack arse attitude.



I turned on Sky this afternoon to watch Motogp live, as advertised in Skywatch with a picture in the header. Not for the first time this year, motorcycle racing has been bumped.

The only reason I purchase sky sport is for the motorcycle racing.
It strikes me as astonishing that you advertise something and then do not deliver on one of the few GPs we can watch live at a reasonable hour.
I have read the standard response you are sending to others who have complained.
It is a nonsense to justify your poor service to motor racing fans by saying the weekend is crowded and difficult to squeeze everything in - as I write this Hawkes Bay vs Nth Harbour rugby is being played on 2 of the sports channels at the same time. I realise one of these is the rugby channel, but a motorsport channel is a luxury we don't have.

Hoping (but not really expecting) your service to improve,
Matt Hodgson

Yep, exactly why I canned Sky the last time, a few years ago - and why I haven't bothered to get it again. It just adds insult to injury when they do it to the Aussie GP - as you point out, one of the few we can watch at a normal hour of the day.
Why have dedicated rugby channels only to pollute the other sports channels with the same crap whilst all the motorsport fans suffer?
Surely any keen rugby fans have purchased the rugby channel package, as the likes of us would do IF there were a dedicated motorsport channel?
It's like my gripe with Maori TV, they've got a dedicated channel yet still insist on playing several Maori language programmes on the other channels - ruins a good Saturday morning lie in!

[crazzed]

Check out all the comments on sky tv facebook page.
ive put my two cents in. might be more appropriate on there.
FOR ALL TO SEE.
Better than emailing them cause they will just sweep it under the carpet.
