Dorna - it is difficult to understand your decision to take away the wiewing choice from UK fans. Why not give them the option to watch Live coverage by paying an additional fee (through BT), or watch delayed coverage where the broadcaster pays the bulk of the fee (Eurosport or BBC for example)? Your decision seems likely to reduce UK viewing numbers quite drastically. Sad.

I have BT Sport and I still want it back on the BBC. The BT Sport service provision is a joke. Either watch on a windows PC (I don't have one) or with a ropey Android App. Neither is acceptable. Neither works. Back to the BBC please.

This is a rediculous situation which can do the sport no good at all. I am not in the slightest bit interested on soccer so why do I have to pay so much money to a channel which predominately holds no interest to me what so ever? Good luck with your campaign!!

Absolutely disgusted. I've watched this sport for many years (and attended races across Europe) only to be blanked out by greedy corporate interests. I will NOT be attending ANY races now. Your loss. Watch the racegoers drop off.

I have watched MotoGP ever since it has been on the BBC. It was always a hot topic of conversation at work following a GP weekend. I can see this diminishing very quickly and soon reducing MotoGP to a thing of the past in the UK which is sad when you consider the talented riders that the UK provides to this series.

Will not pay to watch motogp always watched delayed bbc coverage, think it will end up like boxing did when it moved to sky, it stopped being a topic talked about & after a while you don't miss it. Would be a great shame :-(

More fans = more money in the long term. Less fans = more money NOW obviously. Get your head out of your ass! FFS!

Moto GP will lose thousands of fans due to this change, as the fact is that a lot of people just wont be able to justify paying an extortionate amount extra a month for a channel that in my instance the only sport I would be interested in watching on it would be Moto GP. I am not into football or other sports, I just like motorbike racing. So in my case and i'm sure many others it's not feasible to pay a monthly subscription, no matter how much I enjoy Moto GP. It is a sad shame and not fair to the fans. I am sure the viewing figures of World and British Superbikes will increase in light of this!!

I am really disappointed that I will not be able to watch the Motor GP this year. I have Sky Sports and there is no way I am paying to watch it on BT Sport.
