Donington BSB: TV Schedule

1 of 1

The first round of the 2018 Bennetts British Superbike Championship gets underway at Donington Park this weekend with qualifying and race action set to be broadcast live on Eurosport.

As well as keeping up with the action across the weekend on motorcyclenews.com and MCN’s social media channels (Twitter: @MCNSport, Instagram: motorcyclenews and Facebook), Eurosport will broadcast BSB qualifying and all race action live across Sunday and Monday.

The line-up is once again fronted by Matt Roberts, who will for this year be joined in pit lane by Rachel Stringer who joins the crew as pit lane reporter. Jack Burnicle and James Whitham will, as always, lead commentary with James Haydon and MCN’s Greg Haines covering the support classes.

Due to the change in schedule after weather warnings, qualifying will now be shown live on the Eurosport player with coverage from race one kicking off on Eurosport 2 at 1330. 

Race day coverage will feature five hours of live action with the main Bennetts BSB races getting underway at 1330 and 1630.

ITV will also broadcast an hour-long highlights package at 2000 on Wednesday.
