MotoGP - The French GP in two months already! - The broadcast of the season in France

Slowly, spring is looming and with it, the 2009 MotoGP season. In just two months, the French event at Le Mans will be contested: the organizer Claude Michy and our champion Mike Di Meglio were in Paris this morning to remind us. !

The broadcast of the season in France

Because the young Toulouse rider has indeed become the leader of motorcycles in France. "You are no longer a pilot, you are world champion", insists Claude Michy who readily recognizes the talent of Randy de Puniet, but observes that"the one who made the headlines and who made the 20 Hours is Mike !"

Always as posed but less shy than before, "Magic Mike" played the game of questions and answers with the master of ceremonies Remy Tissier (commentator on Eurosport) first, then with the entire press. Journalists from the specialized press of course, but also from the general press and television !

The opportunity to discover that the n ° 63 listens in loop "Demain c’est loin" of the group Iam, which he decompresses while spending time with his friends – poker until no time! – or watching his girlfriend Marie ride a horse, that he owns an Audi TT, that he has no grigri, that he likes American series – especially Dr. House – but only appreciates the programs quite a bit reality TV … Even if the "New Star" in 2009, it may be him ?!

The managers of the Eurosport and NT1 channels and RMC radio present this morning congratulated the Toulouse world champion on the one hand and the Clermont organizer on the other hand.

Eurosport France will therefore continue to broadcast the entire MotoGP World Championship with practice on Friday and Saturday and the three races on Sunday. "We will have an HF microphone for the 125 and 250 but also for MotoGP, specifies Remy Tissier who will team up again with Philippe Monneret.

Eurosport France director Patrick Godet insists that "the French GP represents the centerpiece"of its motorcycle program. Especially since this Grand Prix is ​​the fourth event of the year – and the second to be contested in Europe – and that it allows"to launch the season in France".

"We are counting on victories from our favorites Mike and Randy", declares the French boss who, in return, ensures that"TF1 will make a special effort to talk about them via Auto / Moto, or even in the news".

NT1 Program Director Richard Maroko is looking forward to broadcasting – over the next three years – all 17 MotoGP races live. "MotoGP is one of the most spectacular disciplines in the world", says the manager.

"While F1 is boring, MotoGP is a sexy discipline", continues Richard Maroko. And in order to attract – or stir up? – the general public, NT1 will broadcast before each race a 20-minute magazine entitled" Warm Up ".

A program that will allow the "generalist" channel to "introduce discipline to non-subscribers (in Eurosport, NDLR), introduce the drivers, associate them with people, make the names known, go back behind the scenes of the GPs, state the starting grid"…

And for the comments, NT1, finally called on Rodolphe Coiscaud, the well-known host of RMC listeners (who continues to broadcast MotoGP for the 5th consecutive year).

"Like in Formula 1, we were looted from our commentators", jokes François Pesenti, boss of the" Dream team RMC ","but Rodolphe will stay around and a second special envoy will also be present to follow the MotoGP".

Television, radio … Only the now "unavoidable" Internet is missing. But at this level, no error is possible: it is on Site that you must stay connected !
