L’Équipe 21 extends rights deal with MXGP

French digital-terrestrial television channel L’Équipe 21 has renewed its rights deal with the Motocross World Championship (MXGP) motorcycling series.

L’Équipe 21 will broadcast each race from the 2016 MXGP season live. It will also air live coverage of the Motocross of Nations, as well as the SuperMotocross Riders’ and Manufacturers’ Cup.

The channel broadcast the MXGP and the Motocross of Nations in 2015. French riders Romain Febvre and Gautier Paulin (pictured) finished first and second respectively in last year’s MXGP.
