Dorna want MotoGP to be shown on free-to-air television, to get the biggest possible market for the sponsors - not a bad thing to aim for from their perspective.

At least I won't have to try and use that useless Yahoo! Eurosport tv guide rubbish next year

As BBCs 3 and 4 don't start until 7pm, maybe one of those channels could be used for the practice and qualifying sessions - heck, make it the dedicated MotoGP channel, leaving BBC1 or 2 free for Formula 1, because we know which would take precedence out of the two when their meetings clash, don't we!
