More LIVE MotoGP coverage on ESPN2 in September with race action from Misano and Aragon.
September features more thrills from the best Grand Prix motorcycle racing on the planet with ESPN2's continuing LIVE coverage of MotoGP. As of the midseason break in July, following the race at Sachsenring, there wasn't much doubt whose name was on everyone's lips, as Spanish rider Marc Márquez made it nine for nine in this year's competition to that point. Countryman Dani Pedrosa and Italy's Valentino Rossi have put up a valiant fight, but Márquez appears unstoppable.
This month's action lands, first, at the Misano World Circuit near the city of Rimini, a renowned scene for Italian Grands Prix throughout the 80s and early 90s which returned to the MotoGP calendar with updated facilities in 2007. Next up is MotorLand Aragón, an ultra-modern facility whose roots were firmly established thanks to its famed history of 40 years of street racing, until 2003, and is now a favorite of both riders and fans alike.
ESPN and ESPN2 present full coverage, airing LIVE, on short-turnaround or taped, of the 18-race MotoGP season. Coverage this month airs LIVE.
