To whom it may concern

Like may other motorcycle racing fans i subscribed to sky so i could watch The MotoGP world championship and The World Superbike championship LIVE. You have been advertising all year that sky will be showing both of these events throughout the year with LIVE coverage. It astonishes me that not only last week did sky delay the showing of the Italian round of the World superbikes by more than 8 hours, but have again this week done the same to the French round of Motogp and South African Round of the World Superbikes. I understand that there is live Premier Football and international Cricket on around this time of year but i am interested to know and cant find a logical reason for why sky cannot show at least one of these motorcycle events LIVE on at least one of your 4 sports channels?

In my opinion Sky should be showing these events LIVE as promised or Should not advertise their sky packages as having these events live. The Motogp is shown delayed on TVNZ, so why am i paying for the same service with sky.

I would appreciate an answer to my query.

Cheers mate, that sounded pretty good so I've cut and pasted and sent it off.

motogp 125's will start at 6 which puts the big boys on about 9.30/10 im guessing. Unfortunately i have to be at work to earn money to pay for my shit sky service.

I'll watch it online tonight. I connect the laptop to the TV and the quality is ok.

The 125cc is running at the moment.

You can buy a one day subscription I think.

I'm still very disappointed with Sky.

Have sent off my 2cents worth to Sky. Thank goodness for a DVD recorder!

I download them on a torrent and the quality is excellent. I canned my motogp subscription about 3 years back as they changed the bloody format.

Sky is for cricket and rugby loving homo's.
