First start to the season I've missed in many years, and all because of this idiotic deal struck with BT. I utterly refuse to give either BT or the MotoGP owners any of my hard earned cash because of their shortsighted cash grabbing fan excluding business model. Good luck to the whole paddock, but you'll have to cheer yourselves on this season lads. Be safe!

How about thinking of the fans for a change ! Eurosport are solely responsible for raising the profile of MOTO GP over many years - dropping them is a dreadful move. I for one will not be watching any longer !!

Eurosport commentators are the best. I use to enjoy watching the build up on a Friday, qualifying on a Saturday and Race day. All made for a great weekend of action. Why should I now have to spend more money to BT? I already spend over £70 a month on Sky

Who chose ITV4 for highlights. ITV4!!! Why not B Eurosport or BBC? 30min coverage with 3 huge commercial breaks was a joke. Looks like it was a great race too. I am so depressed. Dorna you are utter plonkers.

Dorna`s decision made by greed and allowed to take place due to the worst politicians ever that believe in global capitalism,the UK capitulated to pay per view many years ago and you only have them to thank.

We all know it's a marketing ploy to attract more fee paying viewers to BT. Whoopee for them. Sport should be available free to all, not held to ransom by media conglomerates. So so disappointed.

Also disgusted that BT have been given sole rights to showing MotoGP. Removing coverage from a Freeview channel has resulted in many MotoGP fans being able view what was a very popular event on the BBC. Allowing Eurosport to show delayed coverage is a step in the right direction but this privilege should also be given to a Freeview channel provider.

GB Has four riders in Moto GP, we buy the most race replica bikes in the world. The motorcycle industry should take into consideration what this will do to sales, and the future of the sport.
but once again we have to pay through the nose to watch a sport that does not include a ball.

it all comes down to money, as usual. Why should the BT chiefs care about the minority when all they care about is their shareholders, and themselves getting their huge payouts!!. Now if it was formula one, well that would be a different story, no worry about that being swapped over. Hear the cynicism in my voice!!

We cannot afford bikes on road plus extra BT channel subscription on top of standard sky package. MOTO GP 2014 v bikes on road = no contest... 3 less viewers of Crutchlow & Smith for the year. This is just pure greed & profit. Brits enter the races & pound signs enter the executives eyes.
