Eurosport outlines bumper TV schedule

Eurosport will continue to show every race of the World Superbike Championship live in 2010 as it boosts its coverage to capitalise on the wealth of British interest in this year's series.

Seven British riders will be on the grid when action gets underway at the season opener in Phillip Island, with British Eurosport committing to showing Superpole, both World Superbike races and the World Supersport race live.

In addition, Eurosport will improve the quality of its service in 2010 by showing every European race from the second WSBK round at Portimao in high-definition through its Eurosport HD service. Additionally, every race will be available online via the Eurosport Player.

Jack Burnicle will be joined by former British champion James Whitham to make up Eurosport's expert commentary team, guiding viewers through every lap and overtake as it happens, while motorcycle journalist Tony Carter will be joined by a host of guests over the course of the season in Eurosport's World Superbikes studio.
