MotoGP on the BBC

2007 world champion Casey Stoner The BBC will bring you comprehensive coverage of the 2008 MotoGP season, which is shaping up to be a thriller.

Four different winners in the first four races set the tone for a closely-fought championship, and at the midway point of the season, the title race is still wide open.

Defending world champion Casey Stoner began with a win in Qatar before a run of bad luck, but has rediscovered his form at exactly the right time.

Seven-times world champion Valentino Rossi has been in ominously good form, with three consecutive wins in China, France and Italy and seven consecutive podium finishes.

But that run came to an end in spectacular fashion at the Dutch MotoGP, allowing Spain's Dani Pedrosa to take the lead in the world championship standings.

Throw in the unpredictable but brilliant Jorge Lorenzo, and the home interest of two-time World Superbikes champion James Toseland, and all the ingredients are there for the most fascinating championship in years - and BBC Sport will bring you coverage of every twist and turn of the season.

Suzi Perry will be presenting with commentary coming from Steve Parrish and Charlie Cox and pit lane reports from Matt Roberts.

BBC Interactive viewers, via the red button, will be able to see qualifying, then the 125cc and 250cc races and all the post-race reaction and interviews on MotoGP Extra.

All the action will also be available on the BBC Sport website (UK users only) so you can watch the races if you cannot get to a TV.

Or if you missed the race or simply just want to watch it again you can do so on our iPlayer service for seven days after it has happened. BBC's iPlayer
