MotoGP gets even bigger on the BBC
This season's BBC coverage of MotoGP will be the biggest yet, with more live races than ever before and extended interactive coverage of both qualifying and post race action. All 17 races will be shown live either on BBC TWO, or for those that fall outside of Grandstand airtime, on our interactive platform with a full repeat of the race on BBC TWO later in the day. There's also a new addition to the team with the arrival of former Dorna Sports MotoGP commentator, Matt
Roberts. Matt will join presenter Suzi Perry and expert duo Charlie
Cox and Steve Parrish in bringing viewers all the latest pit-lane action from all 17 races to be shown in 2006. For the first race of the season, coming live from Jerez, the BBC will also have extended qualifying coverage and post-race reaction on BBCi - the BBC's interactive service available to digital viewers. Commenting on the 2006 season, Belinda Rogerson, series producer, says: "This is our fourth year of broadcasting the MotoGP Championship, and we are delighted to be providing viewers with more live and interactive coverage than ever before." BBC coverage begins with the Jerez qualifier on Saturday 25 March at 12.55pm on BBCi, followed by live coverage of the first race on Sunday 26 March on BBC TWO at 12.40pm. Viewers can then catch all the post race action live with MotoGP Extra on BBCi from 2.00pm.
