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

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

.
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???????????

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

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.

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

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.
