The sport is further elevated as it now sits alongside other premium properties such as Premier League football, Premiership rugby and international cricket where it will benefit from even greater reach through a single access point. Alongside this, we're excited to launch a new initiative designed to support the development of the next generation of professional riders as well as premiering a new free-to-air show which will expose the sport to new fans across the country.”
