Hmm think they are behind the times with their press release there, unless they have reverted back to the 500's without telling anyone.

It says they are going to be showing the 125's and 250's aswell but I just looked on the sky guide and the only coverage it has is the GP from 2345 to 0130. Lets hope the 250's and 125's are on aswell then.

The Prime guide says 11.45pm to 2.30am. Hope Sky one is wrong, wouldn't be surprised as they can't tell their motogp from their SBK's, and they are a pack of useless lying monopolistic bastards.

Just sent my thanks as well, here's hoping she comes in tomorrow moring and finds her email box full of thanks to Prime.

My email:

Hi Andrea

Just heard the news that Prime will be showing Live Coverage of round eleven of the Moto GP in Portugal.

This is great news and something the motorcycling community has been asking various other tv companies for a long time. Prime are obviously far more in tune with what their viewers want than supposedly bigger companies. Thanks to Prime and I understand Yamaha as well for bringing this to the starving masses.

We are all hoping that this is the beginning of something on-going and look forward to being able to watch the races live rather than very cut down highlights.


Andreas reply:

Hi Eddie

Many thanks for your email. Yes, we are lucky to be airing them live even if they are late at night. Please note Prime have also secured the rights to the 2005 season. I have been inundated with emails from very happy people all day - it's really nice. Happy watching!!


WooHooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SKY

Awesome!

We are at a wedding in Auckland Sunday night, we should have returned to the Hotel by then. Bec will be all mushy as her friend has just got married & she is spending a romantic night away in a swishy hotel (work special rate) & thinking of our impending marriage, :love2: so she will be all Primed up & in the mood.

. . . Just about as my cellphone reminder goes off & I reach for the remote. . .

Bet they have good reception in CBD.

My email and her reply - very good of her sending a reply to every email!
Make sure you tell her how good NZ road racing is and that we want to see that on air too!

Hi Andrea,

Just heard the great news and big thanks to the team at Prime & Yamaha
for bringing us the Moto GP Live!

You guys rock!!! I'm sure by the number of emails you're getting you'll
see the popularity of Motorcycle Sport in New Zealand. Would be great if
you could get on board and televise the New Zealand Nationals this
summer....there is guaranteed to be some awesome racing that would be
sure to rate highly if given the right publicity.

Here's some dates for the New Zealand nationals...

Thanks again.

I just had a horrible thought. Correct me if I'm wrong.

As Sky and Saturn both broadcast Prime on their networks, don't they now get the MotoGP by default?

This fucks me off no end and if I hadn't already cancelled Sky, I would be doing it now.

Fuckers!

Sure MotoGP rocks, but WSBK is pretty good this year, hell, Honda may even win it again. Next year looks good too, Haga and Kevin Curtain are on R1 Yamahas, Alstare Corona are returning, Muggeridge and Vermuelen will be on Honda, Team PSG-1 are looking at switching to Kawasaki, but Chili may be on a Honda with the Renegade boys. Also rumour has Neil Hodgson and Troy Bayliss returning to WSBK, how about Shakey Bryne on the Aprilia in WSBK, Team Foggy are getting up to speed, KTM are looking at racing their 990 V twin, can't wait!!
You all know Rossi is going to win MotoGP this year, but who is your money on for WSBK?

Watcha talkin about Troy's still there on the Foggy Petronas and they reckon they are going to kick butt at Assen as per this article http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2004/Sep/040901a.htm as they have engine improvements this week - yeah right drink your Tui Troy.

Or were you meaning Troy Bayliss and Colin Edwards not being there?

Must admit I thought at the start of the season Laconi and Toseland would walk away with it, but hell, how many different winners have we had? Laconi, Toseland, Haga, Chili, Vermelin, McCoy (anymore?). The Pirellis while not helping lap times are fun to watch, the guys spin the bikes up so much, way more smoke than the MotoGP guys, esp Toseland
