With their MotoGP coverage there is what I would call a fail. Apparently there is not the room for any repeats of the Practice or Qualifying sessions on any of the BT Sport channels. Compared with last year when Eurosport would reshow the on-track action 2-3 times each day (and the beeb may have rerun sessions too). Compare it with Sky Sports F1 also who also deem it useful to repeat the P1-3 and Q sessions 2-3 times and in full on the Monday (on a dedicated channel, of course, also the beeb might rerun F1 P and Q on their 10 races or at least have them online on the BBC Player for 7 days).
Despite what BT are claiming they are not showing an unprecedented amount of live action as I understand it interpreting what they are saying before it all starts as it amounts to the same as the BBC/Eurosport showed previously.
