An additional £12 per month fee to BT Sport to watch MOTOGP is yet another unacceptable exploitation of MotoGP fans in the UK. We always watched MotoGP on BBC or BBC Red button at no extra cost. We now pay a monthly subscription to SKY but then find that we have to pay an additional £12 per month to receive BT Sport to watch Moto GP. This should be included in the Sky package, or switched back to the BBC. We don't want delayed coverage we want it live as it was before. Not everyone just watches football. Do the right thing Carmelo

We have so many quality British GP riders it's a traversty that only a small percentage of viewers will be able to support them. BT is like SKY have done with other bike racing, reducing the viewership and therefore advertisers will go elsewhare, effectively killing off the sport in the UK....Madness!

What a stupid idea having Moto GP broadcast through one media station.....BT. Why should the fans be made to take a new contract out just to watch Moto GP..? Dorna will kill the viewing figures and when this happens they will wonder what has gone wrong!!!! This move can and will damage Moto GP's future. I will now keep up to date with the races via Motorcycle news and watch my home GP live at the track. Eurosport also gave the race fan great commentators and information regarding tracks, bikes and riders.

I will really miss watching MOTOGP
it's the thing I look forward to most on weekend TV. But I am against any TV company acquiring sole rights to any sporting event. Greedy Dorna may eventually regret this deal. BT will not get my money

Even though I get BT Sport free as I am an Infinity user, this damages the sport by restricting access to loyal fans. Also, Id rather listen to an awful 2014 F1 car than the uninformed northern jibber jabber squeaking of Melanie Sykes...c'mon....really?

I wouldn't pay a penny to BT even if it were the only channel available. They have always been a bunch of exploiting crooks.

Disgrace, BBC provided fantastic coverage and had great respect from the riders. I hate BT as a company and have made every effort to remove all TV, phone and internet contracts - I no longer pay them a penny and certainly don't intend to start. Please get this back on the BBC, otherwise I think this sentiment will be echoed and the Grand Prix will cease to be of interest in the UK, this will become a YouTube viewing process from now on... Shame on you dorna and also the shisters at BT who foolishly believe they can blackmail people back into their pockets!

I think this is outrageous we left BT as was costing to much and there customer service was well not good. We have sky but not sports as football is not my cup of tea. My passion is Motorsports, now I have to pay. Well no I will not why should I always watched it on Eurosport for £1 a month now they want £12. So I think that this will go the same way as World Superbikes and F1 (which F1 is now back on TV). Just another way for the rich to get richer and the death of a great sport to watch for free. Which is not as we all spend what money we have on our riders T-shirts and so on. So please if you love your Motorsport like myslef and feel we should be able to watch it free sign this petition. One very unhappy MotoGP and Crutchlow Fan.

I actually don't mind the commentators but the service is appalling. I try to watch it on-line and it often drops out, the videos are never available until at least Wednesday after race-day(when the website says they should be there by Monday) and the links to videos and full races often don''t work. It's terrible!
