MotoGP: 5 channels on Sky and 30 hours of live Grand Prix

From next year, as you now know, Sky will broadcast the world championship. The paid broadcaster will do things big, five dedicated channels and 30 hours of Live Grand Prix. Loris Capirossi and the novelty of the "riders' factory" in collaboration with Valentino Rossi will embellish everything.

"A new trajectory, two great revolutions“, is the slogan coined for the occasion by the Italian pay TV, which starting from 2014 will broadcast the 19 Grand Prix of the MotoGP live, of which 11 exclusively (the others will also be live on a free-to-air channel), without interruptions advertising.

The two great revolutions are the 5 interactive channels of the HD mosaic and the Moto3 Sky Racing Team, the team created in collaboration with Rossi's VR46, which will field Romano Fenati and Francesco Bagnaia on KTMs.

“It's the best offer ever – he said Jacques Raynaud, Sky executive vice president for sport and advertising – With us, MotoGP will not just be a discipline, but will also become a very strong brand.”

“I am honored to be part of this important and different project from others – the words of Capirossi, three World Championships won in his career – We will be able to bring something to motorcycling that has never been seen before - he highlighted -, I hope to be up to par and do a good job.”

From the interactive mosaic to the pilot factory – Four main Sky innovations:

1. for the first time in the history of MotoGP, it will be possible to personalize your viewing experience thanks to 5 interactive channels, all visible at the same time on the television screen;

2. thanks to an agreement with Dorna, Sky will broadcast the 19 races of the three classes of the MotoGP™ World Championship live. A dedicated motoring channel will guarantee total live coverage of the World Championship, exclusively and in High Definition. As with F1, over 30 hours of live coverage will be guaranteed for each race weekend;

3. The Sky Racing Team took shape in Tavullia, the new Sky team, which starting from 2014 will race on the major international Moto3 circuits. The "rider factory" includes Romano Fenati, born in '96, in the last season the best of the Italian riders in Moto3, Francesco Bagnaia, born in '97, and finally the former Supersport and Superbike rider Vittoriano Guareschi, Team Manager of squad;

4. The era of "Social MotoGP" is underway: an official Facebook page and live tweets at any time of the day will allow fans to "enter" directly into the commentary.
