MotoGP 2009 on the BBC 1:27pm on 31 Jan 2009 Dear Belinda

I am now residing outside the UK, but used to watch all three classes of GP on Eurosport, frankly because the commentary team as I know you acknowledge on the Crash.net web site were first rate. Now from the BBC coverage I have watched I agree that Suzi Perry and the guy in the pit lane are very good at what they do especially the pit lane guy. Used to work for the organisers didn't he? Unfortunately you have the two least good commentators in all of the motorcycle racing coverage worldwide. Eurosport have great commentators for MotoGP and World Superbikes, Moody, Ryder are incomparable and Burnacle and Whitham are also fantastic. I now have to watch some of the racing on the net or Star Sports which has good coverage here in Asia (although no practice). I am afraid and as you know it is an opinion shared by many real motorcycle racing fans (not the casual viewers that I know you have to appeal to as well) your commentary team is very very weak. I am comparing them with Eurosport, Star Sports and the Internet coverage for both World Superbikes and MotoGP. Maybe you had contractual issues for this year, however next year for the sake of my fellow fans back in Blighty I would strongly suggest that you try and snap up Moody and Ryder, you may find that with their knowledge and enthusiasm, and actually the most important bit their chemistry together your viewership would increase. You would certainly get all the former Europsort viewers who from the sounds of it will be tempted to MotoGP .com
