I hope it continues as it is.

This pretty much sums up my view.

The view on which commentators are any good will always be subjective. Personally I think Roy Moore is great when there are delays as he has so much knowledge, but I do think the speed of it is getting a bit too much for him as far as the actual commentary goes - he always appears rushed and a little bit flustered.

I do think Chris Kinley is great - his passion comes across and he could talk forever. When he's paired with Chris Palmer he brings the best of Palmer's "racer knowledge" out.

Whitham would be worth persuing now that he is no longer involved with TV - again his passion for the event is unquestioned.

Just to show how subjective this all is though I completely disagree with AntG about Keith Heuwen and Julian Ryder - I quite like Heuwen and find the MotoGP commentaries so much better now that Hodgson has replaced the (in my opinion) appalling and predictable Ryder.
