I have Sky but hate the monopoly on sport they have, if they expect me to upgrade to a Moto GP channel they can think again.

Sky Italia. In Italy.

I wonder what effect it will have on Eurosports coverage then?.

yes sky italia have bought the rights but it says nothing about it being only in Italy, it say exclusive rights

Hope it's not true as I really, really don't want to get Sky.. I hate the idea of lining Rupert Murdoch's pockets, but I'm going to have no choice if both F1 AND MotoGP are only shown live on Sky

May as well cancel my TV licence.. those were the only 2 decent things on the box for me.

So they're going to stop broadcasting MotoGP everywhere except Italy? Of course it's only in Italy.

I have Sky and the sooner the BBC clowns stop taking the **** out of MotoGP fans the better !!

Great news as far as I'm concerned
