From CRASH.NET

Eurosport is to become something of a 'one-stop shop' for bike racing fans after securing exclusive live rights to the Bennetts British Superbike Championship.


BSB
will join

MotoGP
and

World Superbikes
in the Eurosport portfolio, with the channel set to devote 48 hours of live coverage and 66 hours of highlights coverage to the British series on British Eurosport 2.

Bike fans will be able to enjoy a regular four-hour live race day show featuring both BSB races, the British Supersport Championship and Yamaha R1 Cup support races all live from each BSB round with expert presentation and analysis.

Theres quite a few double headers and one triple header, although time differences may help. Eurosport 1 and 2 maybe able to cope, I'm just speculating though.

i'd imagine the triple header has at least a fly away gp or wsbk so theres not timing clashes,after all the tele companies are only interested in viewing figures so they wouldnt want a clash would they

Yep seems that the full races will only be on Eurosport, [Censored] b'stards. :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x

Have written an email of complaint, heres the email if you are like me and don't get, and don't want to get, sky.

media@britishsuperbike.com

Seems they want people in Asia to watch it more than us. Highlights wouldn't be so bad if they were on the same day. :x :x :x :x :x

Used to go to Thruxton and the last round at Brands every year, well [censored] 'em, I'll use the money to go MotoGP instead.

I am very very p!ssed off. :evil: :evil: :x :x :x :x :evil: :evil: :x :x :x :x

You pay for me to have sky and I might otherwise shut it. I love the BSB so am angry about not being able to see it. If it effected you then so would you be. :x
