What's the name of the hyper guy behind the mic with the high pitched voice?

The Britt's or the American guy ?
If it's the American guy then that's Randy Mamola ..

The Brit.He's got so much more enthusiasm than any of the others.Even Shwantz.He sounds like he just woke up after a nap.

Sounds like your talking about Randy Mammola. Either way, whether you meant Randy, Toby or Julian (Eurosport commentators), it's too bad that we'll never hear them commentate on MotoGP Eurosport again! They were the best IMO.

I think he's talking about Toby Moody.

**Wingboy** · 10-29-2008, 10:03 PM

YES,of course! I think my brain is going to mush.

Toby has such a great way of expressing himself.Especially when they start banging bodywork on the final lap! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTYUczV_s0U He says it all in this little bit...smile smile,grin grin,smile smile,twinkle in eye.

Thanks guys.

that really bugs me as i just got into motoGP seriously this year. it's like having a character changeup in the middle of your favorite series, it just doesn't play out well with fans.

who will carry motogp now?

They're trying to get with a network that will broadcast more globally for more exposure which will ultimately be good for the sport I hope. Although I do agree that a change like that is gonna suck for a while till we get used to new commentators. For now BBC will be covering all the MotoGP for 2009. Unfortunately, BBC I believe does not broadcast 125 or 250, so unless they increase their coverage to include those classes next year, that's gonna be something else we lose.

ah ok, BBC picked it up.
no real beef there, BBC programming tends to be pretty high quality, i'm sure i'll enjoy it. I'm just glad that CBS didn't pick it up

(yes it would be good for the sport, but man did you see how they butchered the F1 broadcast?)
