British Superbikes on Sky

[pritch]

I have not watched BSB, it not having been shown here previously. There have been small snippets on the 'Net occasionally showing great racing (of course a brief package wil). But BSB does have a reputation as being one of the best series to watch.

Nobody has to watch it, but I will

Just tried to book it on my mysky and it seems I have to subscribe to the Chanel over and above normal sport channels

[Kornholio]

But....It is probably about 10x more interesting racing

Really????

Yes, really

MotoGP is definately more prestigious but BSB is nearly a full contact sport .... And Nitro Nori is in it too

guilty, but i never had it in the first place

Heh me too... but I know people that have......

The plot thickens....

So clearly none of you guys made a stand and cancelled your sky sport, no wonder they can treat you like a doormat

Don't have any Sky at all...

The small amount of superbikes (aka, not MotoGP) I've seen on free TV, it looks far more exciting, and the bikes are more real world too...

I think you'll find that many of us did.

I have a mate close by, that passes on BSB discs he gets from a mate of his in England.
Some of the best racing you'll get and the circuits are great too.
Not Motogp, but good stuff and the racing is as good if not better than WSBK.

Check out the last few laps of the 2011 season:

Probably one of the best season finales I have ever seen!

Hopefully, it will have the same commentators - Jack Burnicle and Jamie Whitham, who are probably the best bike racing commentators out there. Only down side is the grid is smaller than previous years, but the racing has been just as good this year. They run control ECU's and very little electronics, so bikes are incredibly closely matched and the racing very close.

I copied it and watched it this morning , over 4 hours of great racing . 2 Legs and the previous two meetings in the middle.
Good stuff.

I only managed to record the first race, must have needed to hit record again somewhere along the way, well worth a look though, good racing.

Fucken sky moved the goalposts, that is why you only got first race. I had mine all set to record, from 11.55 - 5 am, and I checked before I went to work.

When I get home this morning, I see that I too only got 71 mins of racing, so sometime they changed things.
