Enjoying the btsport motogp coverage but disappointed they don't show warmup which Eurosport always did.

You forgot to mention how irritating and non biker experienced Melanie Sykes is. She's like a robot frankly. Spoils it. I watch a lot of it slightly behind time so I can fast forward through her.

I think that the in race commentary is really dull

It is a bit flat.

Yeah you could be right, I'm actually enjoying Moto 3 more these days, MotoGp is too much like the premiership, usual top 4 finishers every time.

Have you guys tried the BT Sport APP? You can view on board cameras and a hellicam or watch the gps positions on a graphic of the circuit. Great on a tablet while watching on TV

No I have BTsport via virgin media so cannot log onto the BT app as need a password and I don't know any kind sole who could lend me there's unfortunately

Yes she is annoying and not as fit as I had hoped. Looks like she can't be bothered making the effort.

I do like Gavin Emmett, Neil Hodgson and Keith Huewen though

I'm sure something could be arranged

I find the most annoying thing with Mel Sykes is you can tell she is just asking scripted questions, even if the conversation goes onto a different direction she just reverts back to what she has been told to say, which I have no doubt is because she doesnt feel comfortable with the subject., theres no passion on her part from it, Also I wish Keith would let Julian get a word in sometimes, but I do really like the moto GP tonight program they show on Tuesdays after races (apart from Iwan Thomas, there is no need for him in the show just let Craig Doyle do it)

Guys, remember when Suzi Perry started....she took sometime to get to know it and relate properly...

Personally i like Mel and hope BT and the public give her time to get her feet under the table more.

Neil H is awesome, i have always liked him as a racer and then as a pundit on EuroSport, honest, says it like it is, an ex-racer and has funny stories to tell.

Keith and Julian, hmm, not too sure I'm fully bought into Keith yet, he is a knowledgeable chap, yet continually interrupts Julian, maybe when they settle down into a routine things will balance out.

BT Sport have and continue to do a great job in my view and the GP Tonight show is a laugh. Although i do have to say Iwan is a little OTT, he needs to just be himself and not always go for the glory comments!

Did anyone see Bradley Smiths lap of Le Mans with the commentary on this weeks show, classic, he's still such a kid!

Hoooooorrraaaaaaaayyyyyyy!

She's gone

Right choice IMO. She needs time to develop as a sports presenter. MotoGP fans aren't like football fans. You only have to see how shite Adrian Chiles is to realise footie fans will listen to any old dickhead.

Ah shame as she was good on the eye at least. Not sure about Craig doing it. Bring back Matt from the BBC I say as front man. Just my opinion.

I quite liked azi

Best bit about watching it online in the videos is they cut all the build up and the footage starts when the race starts. The down side is you do miss the post race interviews.

Apparently Mel Sykes has been axed and is due to be replaced by Craig Doyle who I think is a good replacement.

I wish her well but glad she has been axed as she struggled to add anything to the show IMO including eye candy as she never looked her best.
