Awesome- I stopped watching right about the time they took over F1 and got rid of Buxton, Hobbs and Matchett. Those 3 plus the grid girls were what was left making the show worth watching. Now if they use that as a template for MotoGP they will wreck it for sure.

I think they would be able to bring in more viewers from different parts of the world to watch the Moto GP like they were able to do with F1.

Chances are this leads to F1 fans getting MotoGP as an 'extra'. But after one season price goes up and you're just paying extra for a sport you weren't interested in, in the first place.

I hear that his lordship wants the F1 callender to run alongside Moto GP at the same venues forming a 'Super Weekend', It makes me wonder if he has a vested 'financial' interest in the commercial rights.
