Fox looks back at MotoGP


From Fox Sports:

 

FROM MONDAY, MAY 18 TO SUNDAY, MAY 24 ON FOX SPORTS MORE 507

 Motorsport fans can settle in and enjoy a week-long celebration on two wheels, when FOX SPORTS presents a special MotoGP pop-up channel available on Foxtel and Foxtel NOW.

Commencing daily from 8.00am on Monday, May 18 through to Sunday, May 24, FOX SPORTS More 507 will celebrate the premier class of motorcycle road racing showcasing some the best riders of MotoGP through a mixture of races and documentaries.

 

MONDAY MAY 18:

We kick off the week with undoubtedly one of the best and most successful motorcycle riders of all time, Spanish rider Marc Marquez. With eight Grand Prix World Championships under his belt, six of those in Premier MotoGP, his recent domination in the sport has set up his career with an amazing number of record breaking achievements. We take a look at some of those pivotal moments including a spotlight on 2014 where Marquez accomplished the most wins in a year, as well as his win on home soil in Spain in 2016, his best race in 2018 clinching the win by seconds and his most recent win in 2019.

FOX SPORTS More will also air special documentaries showcasing Marc Marquez’s career: From Cervera to Tokyo, Unseen, Unlimited.

 

TUESDAY MAY 19:

It’s an Aussie feast on Tuesday as we shine the spotlight on our very own two-time World Champion, Casey Stoner. From his very first MotoGP podium in Turkey in 2006, we then follow 10 of the best moments in his impressive career. Key milestones will include his first MotoGP win in Qatar in 2007, wins on home soil in the 2009 & 2012 Australian MotoGP, races from his first Championship winning year of 2007 including Australia, Malaysia and Catalunya and highlights from Valencia 2011 forming his second Championship.

 

WEDNESDAY MAY 20:

Wednesday is dedicated to the X-Fuera, Spanish rider Jorge Lorenzo. Recently announcing his retirement in 2019, Lorenzo has been a force to be reckoned with over the years. In 2012 he became the first Spanish rider to win multiple premier class titles, and with 68 career wins is sixth on the all-time wins list. We look at his first MotoGP win in 2008, his fifth series win in 2015 and his stunning final victory at the 2018 Austrian Grand Prix.

 

THURSDAY MAY 21:

MotoGP week continues on Thursday with arguably one of Australia’s greatest legends, Mick Doohan. The winner of five consecutive 500cc World Championships, we follow Doohan from his first win in Malaysia in 1994, a fantastic 1995 series finish in Argentina and his fifth series win journey through Catalunya in 1998.

We will also bring you some of the best 90’s wins from greats such as Wayne Gardner, Alex Criville, Luca Cadalora and Daryl Beattie.

 

FRIDAY MAY 22:

It’s one thing to win a World Championship, but Italian Valentino Rossi has nine titles to his name. Friday, we take a look back at his amazing career of the legendary #46 with 10 of his best races spanning across his 18 illustrious years of racing. Featured will be some of his World Championship year wins in 2009 (Catalunya), 2008 (USA), 2005 (Jerez), 2004 (South Africa) and 2003 (Australia).

 

SATURDAY MAY 23:

It’s a day of Aussie pride on Australia as the focus shifts to our very own Phillip Island showcasing some of its best races, before we track young Australian Jack Miller. We follow the journey of our very own top class rider, from his successes and ‘Miller Thrillers’ in Moto3 class in 2014 to his first ever MotoGP win in 2016.

We also get to know the rider behind the wheel and away from the track with his documentary: Off The Racing Line

 

SUNDAY MAY 24:

Sunday, settle in for some modern-day MotoGP madness as we ride through the best races of the last decade. A drama filled 2017 Valencian GP, 2019 British GP sees Alex Rins take his chance around the final corner, the thrilling Lorenzo v Marquez battle at the 2016 Italian GP as well as the 2018 Dutch TT.
