The BBC seem to have quite good coverage this year ............
MotoGP on the BBC
Casey Stoner and his Ducati team celebrate his world title
The BBC will bring you comprehensive coverage of the 2008 MotoGP season.
Casey Stoner won the 2007 title in emphatic style in only his second season in the championship.
The Australian will be under huge pressure to defend his crown from the legendary Valentino Rossi, who finished outside the top two of the championship standings for the first time in any category since 1996.
British interest will be ignited by the arrival to the elite class of James Toseland, the reigning World Superbike champion.
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.
