Dorna Sports has announced that the 2008 MotoGP World Championship will be the last to be broadcast by Eurosport.
"After many years of successful collaboration, MotoGP rights-holders Dorna Sports would like to announce that coverage of the MotoGP World Championships will no longer be available on Eurosport from the 2009 season," read a statement from Dorna, the MotoGP commercial rights holders.
"Dorna would like to thank Eurosport for a partnership which has been of mutual benefit for several years, having helped take MotoGP to new levels of popularity and coverage whilst also offering the pan-European broadcaster impressive viewing figures.
"The decision is part of Dorna's new strategy of working with national network broadcasters around Europe, always focusing first and foremost on free-to-air coverage to bring MotoGP to wider audiences.
"This means that in the UK, the BBC will enjoy exclusive coverage of MotoGP next year, whilst in Spain and Italy, where MotoGP enjoys long-term agreements with TVE and Mediaset respectively, negotiations are ongoing about extending coverage to more hours during the weekend.
"In Germany, a deal has been signed with a privately owned free-to-air channel, giving the commercial network exclusive coverage for three years until 2011. Meanwhile, negotiations are ongoing in France and other major European territories with various mainstream networks; further details will be announced shortly." |

I think the BBC coverage is crap!  they show no practice sessions no qualifying and if you miss it no repeats!  |

I really like the coverage on eurosport especially the fact that they usually show all the practice/ warm up on race day and all the races.
Just looked for tomorrow on the Beeb and Assen coverage is 1hr 15 mins in between tennis, Eurosport over 5 hours live coverage 
I just wonder what coverage the beeb will be offering next year when there is no competition for viewers 
that said I always flick over to the Beeb for a few mins to see Suzi Perry  |

Suzi Perry, not a particularly nice person off camera. We were on a flight out to Valencia a couple of years ago, Hodgson was on it and he was a top top bloke, happy to chat to anyone. Suzi just flicked everyone off as fast as she could and had a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp for the whole journey.
I still would though  |

| Just spoke to a guy at work about this and he reminded me that BBC has F1 back for next year so I can see the bikes being relegated well down the viewing order |
