MotoGP spectators nationawide can no watch their favourite sport with the best clarity for this season, as the nation's premier motorcycle championship will broadcast in full High Definition for the initial time. While the majority of circuit action over the previous year has been filmed by HD cameras, this is the sole time that viewers can experience the amazing quality when watching the MotoGP event.

HD has quickly arrived as a standard for premier sports, MotoGP is no exception. Covering up to six kilometres of circuit, 17 racing bikes, the pit garages and helicopter views with HD cameras, has needed much planning and preparation from the organiser, Dorna Sports. The largest challenge has been the on-board cameras, Dorna along with Gigawave, are working together to develop the sophisticated cameras.

This year, RTL Club (Belgium), Eurosport (France), Sport TV (Portugal), Digisport (Hungary) and Viasat (Scandinavia), will all broadcast the MotoGP event in HD over Europe. The nation reached MotoGP in HD, will cover as far as Speed TV (US), ESPN (Latin America), Globosat (Brazil), One HD (Australia), StarHub (Singapore), Sky (New Zealand), Al Jazeera (Middle East), ESPN Star Sports (Asia) and Supersport (Africa), with more HD broadcasters soon to arrive on board.

"Working alongside the most recognised sports broadcasters worldwide and being one of the leading motorsports championships, we have a duty to stay abreast of all the emerging technologies which help us to capture the speed and adrenaline of MotoGP" states Manel Arroyo, Managing Director of Dorna.
