It was never HD it was only upscaled SD.
The reason why it is not on the HD channel may be that this late deal is only with the British version of the channel, remember Eurosport HD is a pan-European channel (thus US Open tennis was blanked out in the UK due to SKY's rights).
The coverage is produced by Dorna (the Moto GP equivalent of Bernie's FOM for F1). They (apparently) are testing HD ready for next season. Incidentally it was their decision to drop Eurosport (nothing to do with the BBC).
Although even if it was available in HD, I'd guess the Masters (an event with a much greater audience) would get precedence.
