This is a request to Dorna chief Carmelo Ezpeleta by UK MotoGP fans to either switch the 2014 TV rights back to the BBC or to allow Eurosport to show delayed full coverage. In a recent online poll, 90% of UK MotoGP fans said they thought that the new 2014 BT deal was a terrible idea. The general consensus online is that most fans will not sign up to BT which will cut viewing figures severely. Effectively killing MotoGP in the UK. Give us back our motorcycle grand prix sport on TV.

The request / suggestion for payment AFTER you have signed is just that; a REQUEST / SUGGESTION ONLY and is for the website that hosts the petition only.

We have a problem with mainstream UK media ignoring requests to let UK race fans know about this petition.....so please email every website, magazine and paper that you can think of.

There is a Facebook page concerning this issue: Please come and join our efforts.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about this as much as I do. Seeing the total head toward one thousand is incredible because it shows how many of us miss the old coverage. If you can help get this front of a few more racing fans today we might actually get someone to listen to us.

A crazy decision by Dorma to exclude the best commentry combination of all, Toby Moody and Julian Ryder of Eurosport. I have closed my Sky account. Never liked the BBC team, presenters too excitable. Cant get BT vision so I am screwed. Thanks a bunch.

I have been watching motorbike racing for 55 years and subscribe to Sky Sports solely to watch racing from my armchair. Due to your greed I can no longer watch the Moto GP without paying an additional amount of money which I am not in the position to do.

Exclusive BT coverage is a very bad idea. Uk is a strong market for bikes and with a very small amount of fans now being able to watch moto gp the bike manufacturers investment will be severely compromised. DORNA do not understand what they have done.

Dorna, please explain why you want to penalise the UK audience from watching your great sporting spectacle when the rest of Europe from what I can establish continue to watch MotoGP on Eurosport. I know it comes down to money nothing else but money!

To try and force people into buying BT coverage of Moto GP is akin to blackmail and is offensive. It is also a ridiculous attempt at elitism in a sport that has always been open to the British public as a whole. Please return MotoGP to the people.

Together we stand in order to support the rights as people of this rakyat. Maria chin has to be considered. God hear our prayer.
