    Sorry I didnt explain that very well. If you have bt broadband / infinity then you can use the bt sport app for free so no monthly subscription fees

    On the app you get btsport 1 + 2 and espn. Loads of people are unhappy with bt but I think its great as there is loads of stuff to watch

    Apparently you can upgrade to Virgin TV XL which includes BT Sport.

    Just been watching the MotoGP testing on BT online as I don't have a TV
    I've been a BT broadband customer for the past couple of years so getting the sports is just a freebee bonus.
    The adverts are a pain in the arse every 20 minutes or so, but at least they are only about 60-90 seconds, not the 5 minutes on Sky.
    On the testing side..it was very interesting to see the riders on their new steeds, Crutchlow making some reasonable times, Redding obviously enjoying the factory Honda package with the extra horsepower and Rossi very close to Lorenzo in the lap times..
    More to watch tomorrow, with the Repsol boys back on track..so some fast bikes will be there at last :)

    Crutchlow is only 1 tenth off dovi's pace, seeing that I'd say he'll be the faster rider next year of the 2...

    I've got a motogp.com pass, best money spent to watch something

    Well seen some of it on virgin media, I'm guessing the dorna circus had already left and the camera's n broadcast equipment was belonging to BT as the picture quality was down from Eurosport/BBC HD footage yesterday?
    if those two in the commentary booth are the best bt have to offer I think they will have me off to sleep in first 5 mins of airing a race next year! Jeez I thought the BBC was bad for commentary!

    They had some dude down in the paddock that was never able to broadcast and answer questions when he was meant to be talking!
    All I can say is BT really have to up there game before the start of the season!
    Tbh the only reason I was able to watch bt sport is due to it coming included with my tv package otherwise yesterday's race would have been my last and unless BT catch up quick to the experience levels of the previous contracted Eurosport/BBC it still may be the last full race I watch featuring prototype bikes!
