It’s easy when you’re sat at home on the sofa!”BT Sport is yet to announce it’s revised MotoGP commentary line-up for 2021, who would you like to see inherit Huewen’s place?After 7 years of working with the best in the business @btsportmotogp and traveling the world for MotoGP, it’s time for change.
