I wouldn't be surprised if they then said around race 6 "For the rest of this season coverage, turn to sky television"

Good old Prime.
Still employing Holmes though. They must feel sorry for the poor old fart.

This weekend is a full on official "test" at Valencia, its being televised live throughout Europe, winner gets a BMW car. Sete Gibernau won it last year, no sign of them televising this then?
Yeah, and I wonder how long the "live" coverage lasts for too.....
Anyway, this Sunday afternoon Sky Sports 1 has live coverage of WSBK from Phillip Island, yeah haa!!!

That's just mean... no one should have to suffer owning a BMW car (one of the common terms for BMW in South Africa was B<ring>M<echanic>W<ith>
Not sure how the reliability of the bikes are (I'm sure they're a fair bit better), but WHY A CAR!!!

...in 3 words... Bikes are BETTER

I would much rather Prime lost the Moto GP rights to SKY so that races would be shown live when they are actually on, and repeated often as well. Case in point what SKY does with Superbikes.

I hate Prime and its crap Moto GP coverage. All of you getting excited about it being on Prime must not have been frustrated by the extremely delayed coverage of it last year. My friend and I repeatedly beat each other to death over Prime and Moto GP.

Thats a ridiculous thing to say. Not all of us feel the need to waste money on PAYING for TV, insted of watching the free to air stuff. I won't even watch a lot of TV, probably an hour a fortnight if that, I lose interest and go outside to do somthing in real life insted.

It's ridiculous to want to watch live sport... LIVE??? You're right, that was ridiculous of me. My preferred method of watching sport is weeks or even months after it has been on. That's awesome.

So how's that 1990 soccer world cup going? Have you watched it yet, or are you going to wait until you're in the mood?
