As revealed by bikesportnews.com last week, BTSport will have Julian Ryder and Keith Heuwen as their commentators for the 2014 MotoGP season while Melanie Sykes will front the live weekend show alongside former World Superbike Champions Neil Hodgson and James Toseland.

For each of the 19 race meetings the firm will show the free practice and qualifying sessions live, full coverage of the Moto2 and Moto3 races and the MotoGP race across Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

It will be hosted on-site at each event with additional studio coverage from BT Sport’s state of the art facilities at the Olympic Park in Stratford, East London. Award winning production company North One Television will produce BT Sport’s coverage.

MotoGP commentator and presenter Gavin Emmett will be BT Sport’s MotoGP reporter while some nobber called Matt Birt will lend his expert analysis.

A new hour-long programme, MotoGP Tonight, will be broadcast at 8pm on Tuesdays, after every Grand Prix weekend. This will be presented by BT Sport’s Craig Doyle and former Olympian and European and Commonwealth games 400 metres champion and biker, Iwan Thomas. The pair will be joined by an array of guests.

“It’s really exciting to be launching such a thrilling new sport on BT Sport, with a tremendous new team and what we believe will be a fresh approach to MotoGP and some fantastic new shows,” said BTSport’s Simon Green.

“MotoGP is the top, two-wheeled motorsport. It’s massive in the UK and we're heading into it at full throttle and following every second of the action. We’re sure we’ll appeal to committed fans, but we also think we will win over and welcome new fans to the sport.”
