    Cheers Benn already on it, filling up the hard drive with it then spinning through the crap to find the nuggets.

    I think that Eurosport having to pick up the scraps of what is generally considered mainstream coverage is a proper gold mine to petrol heads and long may it continue.

    Totally agree mate!! Love my footy, rugby and golf... But eurosport is the first channel I select when turning on the tv as it has soo much bikes which tops the lot...

    Keep an eye on espn classics too - best battle bikes is great

    Gutted when the powers that be forced Sky to give half the rugby to ESPN, but refuse to pay another tenner on top of my huge subscription to get it back.

    And yes, I know my nose has been sacrificed in order to vex the rest of my visage but even I have the odd principle.

    Espn can kiss my ass!!! Sky shouldn't be allowed to get away with it...

    Won't either!!

    I love the fact that the boxing lately has dropped away from pay per view!! Good that people refuse to pay extorsionate amounts for ten minute fight at 5am

    I hate to admit it but it wasn't Sky's fault this time. They were considered to have an unfair monopoly and instructed to hand half the coverage over. The RFU were up in arms over it as ESPN couldn't afford to pay what Sky were paying so are stumping up less. I don't see who gains the advantage except ESPN. I doubt they've got an overly large client base outside of the Sky list.
