MotoGP – Preview Valencia – TV programming on Italia 1 and Eurosport

The world championship riders return to the track tomorrow in Valencia for the last stage of the 2008 world championship which will take place on the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia. With the titles now assigned (the 125 to Mike di Meglio, the 250 to Marco Simoncelli and the MotoGP to Valentino Rossi) the riders will put on a show without having to think about strategies or anything else. Obviously the times have changed compared to the previous GP, below we report those on the track and on TV. The GP will be broadcast by Italia1 and Eurosport (cable or satellite television). As always, Guido Meda and Loris Reggiani will be in the control room while Alberto Porta and Paolo Beltramo will 'act' from the pits. On Eurosport there will be Toby Moody and Julian Ryder (commentary in English).
