MUMBAI: Ten Sports Network has secured

championship for motorcycle road racing. As was

the first time that MotoGP will be broadcast
exclusively by a broadcaster in the Indian sub-
continent.

This new deal between Taj TV and MotoGP rights
holders Dorna Sports will run for a period of five
seasons starting 2015. As a part of this deal, Ten
Sports will broadcast all MotoGP, Moto2 and
Moto3 races and qualifying practices live on its

excited to embark on this new journey with
Dorna. We are committed to building this

viewers will witness unprecedented
programming initiatives on our network. We
have also been rights holders for this premium
property since 2006 and we are delighted to
continue and take this partnership to the next
level.”

Dorna Sports managing director Manel Arroyo
added, “We are thrilled about our exclusive
partnership with Taj TV and looking forward to
developing a close relationship with them. India

World Championship will benefit greatly from
the extensive promotion that Taj has committed
to provide.”

The 2015 MotoGP season begins in Qatar on 27
March with the first of 18 races in the 2015
calendar. The 2015 rider line up is stronger and

flavour by creating Indian-focused programming
for a few events.
