The first 1,000 customers to sign up online after 19 March are eligible for the offer in an effort to mark the broadcaster’s coverage of the event, which began on 20 March ahead of the opening race in Qatar on 23 March. MCN Sport is a quarterly print and online magazine from the makers of Motor Cycle News.

David James, marketing director, BT consumer, said: “We’re really pleased to be able to bring this MCN Sport offer to MotoGP fans and can’t wait for this season’s great coverage to begin this weekend on BT Sport.”

A second screen within the BT Sport app will also be created for motorcycle racing fans, giving them the chance to watch from different camera views, a helicopter view and provide live timing and tracking screens.

Melanie Sykes will present coverage of race weekends, joined by former British and World Superbike Champions Neil Hodgson and James Toseland. Julian Ryder, Keith Huewen, Matt Birt and Gavin Emmett will provide commentary and reports.
