omg, just got BT Sport on trial with my cable deal. What a load of pants, the guy who sounds like he's eaten a towel drives me nuts, Melanie annoying Sykes. Steve Parish and Jamie Whitter please start a mutiny... The end of MotoGP following for me.

Totally unfair that BT Sport have the sole rights. I do not have BT sport programmes and neither do I have BT broadband so I have been robbed of my entertainment.

I will not pay BT Sport or any other service provider for watching Moto GP on what is effectively pay per view basis. I hope BT comes unstuck this year I think we all want Moto GP to revert back to its previous channels.

This has angered/upset me as I watched MOTO GP with my dad and since he passed tragically 3yrs ago this was my way of coping, plus I follow Rossi till the end, just a brilliant showman. WHY? WHY? WHY? is what I want answered BBC.

The commentary team is what made the BBC coverage so outstanding. Only hearing them do the highlights now is gutting, and like so many others I can't justify joing BT just for one thing I love.

Keep moto gp on the BBC and Eurosport. I will not join BT as I don't agree with Indian call centres when it all goes wrong. Moto gp will die a sad death in the UK.

Absolutely ridiculous situation. My connection cant support a live stream (BT line - no alternative) cant get a sat dish (conservation area) so I guess that's it this year. Bollocks.

BT Sport's gamble will probably fail, ending up with a massive debt, which if you have a BT phone, internet or other service, you'll pay for. The taxpayer was swindled out of the first Post Office privatisation in the eighties by Thatcher, when the telephones were sold and the resulting company made £111 per second profit. That's £111 per second, for every day of every year for years and years and years, which could have been yours, which you could have used via the BBC to keep your beloved sport on the box for all to join in with. Every short-term gain by way of selling the crown-jewels in the UK has ended in riches for the few and SFA-squared for the rest of us. I said it then and no one listened and the rest just took the £200 or whatever and probably blew it on beer for a month. I hope it tasted sweet...

I live in hull and unable to get bt due to the monopoly kc have in the city. I am a big fan of moto gp but unable to watch it now as no one in the hull boundaries can get bt....please put back on free to air tv.

Another disgrace with a popular motorsport being sold off to the highest bidder (BT Sport). I for one won't be subscribing to BT ever so I guess I won't be watching my favourite motorsport again. Shame the BBC won't cut down on some other ball sports to allow coverage of some popular alternatives.

As the BBC seems determined to get rid of most sports , and 100% of any sport with internal combustion engines involved. Plus the repetitive load of junk the also transmit ! Is it not way past time that the TV licence fee was JUST for news and weather, with anything else having to fund its self ! Or just give us the choice to watch it or not as a full pay channel ! It would not last a day !

Popularity is what keeps sponsorship and pays your bills.This just lost you the U.K. Go back to the BBC, get your fans back, keep the sponsors happy !

Can't get to see even reruns of gp this year. Moto gp will loose out if TV rights aren't changed as BBC or sky have more viewer's n come next year BT will most probably start charging more anyway.

Really really peed off about this. Have followed bike racing for decades and never felt so strongly about and change as this. LISTEN to the people.

Already paying for SKY who's coverage last year was superb, no chance of paying BT as well. Let SKY show the race highlights later in the week else goodbye Moto GP in the UK. Typical BT greed.
