BBC to show MotoGP practice sessions online

UK public-service broadcaster the BBC has confirmed that, for the first time, every MotoGP motorcycling practice session will be streamed live on the BBC Sport website during the 2013 season.

The sessions will also be available live on mobile phones via the BBC Sport application.

All races from the Moto2 and Moto3 developmental series will also be available live on the BBC’s red button digital service.

The 18 MotoGP races will again be shown live on BBC Two and BBC Two HD, aside from the Texas race on April 21 and the Assen race on June 29 which will be live on BBC Three and live on the red button, respectively.

The BBC is in the final year of an exclusive four-year deal for coverage in the UK, from 2010 to 2013.
