Julian, Toby & Randy

[MJW]

Any idea where the best commentary team in motorsport will end up in 2009, now that Eurosport dont have Moto GP?

Mamola is the Ducati Doubleseater rider so he should be in the MotoGP paddock next season even if not as a commentator

fingers crossed at the bbc still doing moto gp!

One assumes the BBC will keep on with their own commentators though?

Maybe they'll just move to Eurosports WSB coverage??

I wonder if that is the case tho. I wonder who covers the costs of the Ducati double-seater, does anyone know ? People pay money to get a ride on the thing but I think most of that ( if not all ) goes to Riders for Health.

I expect Eurosport was paying Randy's travel expenses, so unless someone else is going to pick that up, there might not be a Randy piloted two-seater next year.

With the Beeb announcing their F1 team I was hoping they'd also announce that the whole Eurosport team had been signed. Ah well, never mind - we can expect third rate coverage next year.

A little birdie told me that Toby Moody was actually in the frame of possibilities for the BBC F1 spot at one point, but in the end they went for Legard who had already been with the BBC.

Unfortunately the BBC keep their old commentary team, so no room for Julian, Toby and Randy.

An utterly shameful decision. Not only that but the coverage will be nothing like what Eurosport provided. What planet are Dorna on??

I cant understand why they are not being considered for another year.
They are brilliant It is the best commentary on Eurosport
Why dont we all wrtie and complain any idea who to e mail I will start the ball rolling
