    I seem to remember something about Steve Rider being on the Sky team…

    As much as I hate him, he’s probably the best person for the job at Sky, there’s no chance of getting Rosenthal or Murray back…

    And Jake has just friended Ben Edwards. Hmmmm.

    Someone above said about it being a common commentary feed. Is that confirmed? I can’t see syndication like that working with Sky, they like to mention their own name every 20 seconds.

    Jake, David and Eddie are all contracted for another year so unless sky buy them out I doubt they will move, added to the fact that Jake is doing to Olympics next year he wouldn’t want to move when its London involved. I don’t think that there will be a Common commentary feed because as peteleeuk said, they do shamfully self promote themselves. Also Brundle said there will be more gadgets and things for him to play with simmilar to the compairing laps ect, would Sky really give all his work to the BBC? Also just because someone is dropped from a Twitter feed doesn’t mean its the end of there job? It could be someone just deleating it so its big news. I would love to hear David Croft and Brundle commentate for sky though, I think they would get along quite well and add Davidson or Chandock as maybe a third colour commentator. However too many commentators could just over complicate things. Also, wouldn’t Brundle want to be lead commentator?

    May not be anything, but in the past couple of day Martin Brundle and Georgie Thompson have began following each other on Twitter.

    I’ll be very modest here and point out that I was right. http://youtu.be/ZjPtk1di020?t=1m40s

    The BBC’s treatment of the team made his mind up.

    Fantastic video, so we can expect an announcement tomorrow? :)

    Ben Edwards doing the BBC commentary would be great, although he’s tied up with ITV for BTCC at the moment. Honestly wouldn’t mind seeing James Allen return either!
