6 lap motogp?

3pm it is then. Hopefully BBC2 will show it...

 

2pm, rather. Come on BBC, shunt the golf...

 

it's been a good scrap so far.

What, and miss the Toby and Julian commentary?

And all because of the unique way in which BBC's funding won't pay for
decent presenters...

 

Absolutely stunning, more like.

Just goes to show, it's the *blue* ones that are faster!

 

It's true. I have to say that usually the main race suffers in the thrill
stakes to the 125s and 250s. But this time it came up trumps throughout.

 

How bizarre. They all go back out on slicks, what on earth was the
point in stopping it in the first place?

 

Simply breathtaking. Awesome. Thank heaven for Eurosport!

 

It was rather good wasn't it. I thought the 125s were fairly amazing
this week but Moto GP topped it.

 

Particularly enjoyable was the open mic on McWilliams as he chatted to
Hopkins and someone else.

I guess they won't be doing that again!

 

Can you give a precis for those of us who missed it?

 

During the stoppage, a Eurosport (or associate of) cameraman was walking
down pit lane, and happened on McWilliams, Hopkins and A.N.Other. Julian
and Toby shut up saying something like "Let's hear was Jeremy has to say".
There was something mumbled, and then in his thick Oirish brogue something
on the lines of "It's alright for you fuckers." Presumably referring to a
wet part 2.

Toby/Julian come back on quickly with supressed laughter saying that they
knew they would need a bleep machine. I can't remember if they apologised
I was pissing myself laughing.

I also liked the moment where Toby Moody wandered back into the
commentary box laughing having observed the Italian commentators
lounging in their chairs, feet on the desk and the room thick with
cigarette smoke. I think the quote was something like "Mr X only turned
up at 11am even though the programme went on air at 10. You can't learn
style like that, you have to be born with it." Sort of sums up the
Italians for me.
