    Bloody annoying, I turn on the TV and straight away it comes onto BBC news as per the channel I left it on before going to be.

    Within 15 seconds it's on the sports news and no spoiler just tells me who win't the fecking MOTO GP race. Even Before I could turn it over.

    Bast**rds

    i can understand if it was yesterday but not when their is racing on early in the morning and they tell you who won

    Anyone else get P**ed off about this. Why can't they say look away now if you don't want to hear.

    I've complained in the past when our local radio station gave out the F1 result on the 7.30 news.

    Now I send them an email each season reminding them to give a spoiler alert. Don't know if it's worked because I avoid the radio on racedays.

    I keep of social networking and don't go into threads about a race as then it's my fault. But sodding annoying when a race is early hours and they tell you as soon as you put the TV on

    I have my laptop set for the moto gp no spoilers. Watched the Moto GP 2 race at work on my laptop at lunch but the wife is a fan of Moto GP so have to wait until I get home to watch that

    Unusual for the BBC to mention anything about Moto GP, not sure if the British Moto was even mentioned.
    But if its Formula 1 it seems to be on all bloody day....

    The Beeb do mention Moto GP but only if The Brits are on the podium or it's the British round.

    I stayed up until 3am then went to bed too tired to keep awake so I checked Japan moto gp timetable which said moto gp 7am CET so set alarm 6:45 AM. Woke by alarm so switched tv on thinking I'd see the grid walk before the race only see live the last two laps of the race. I'd forgot about CET and UK summer time - Feck!!!!
