MotoGP – Preview Le Mans – TV programming and the complete programme

The world championship riders return to the track tomorrow at Le Mans in France for the fourth race of the 2009 season, the second in Europe after Jerez de la Frontera. After the victory in the Spanish GP Valentino Rossi will want to repeat himself on a track that has always been congenial to Yamaha which even monopolized the podium last year with Rossi, Lorenzo and Edwards. Casey Stoner's Ducati is also a protagonist and was forced to retire last year due to a technical failure. As you can read in the previous news, the Borgo Panigale company is also working with Vittoriano Guareschi and Troy Bayliss to lend a hand to the other riders to try to make all the two-wheeled Reds go fast. Below we report those on the track and on TV. The GP will be broadcast on Italia1 and on digital terrestrial Mediaset. As always, Guido Meda and Loris Reggiani will be in the control room on Italia 1 while Alberto Porta and Paolo Beltramo will 'act' from the box.
