Motors TV will extend its coverage of two-wheel motorsport in 2011 with LIVE action from every round of the prestigious Campionato Italiano Velocita (CIV) Italian Superbike Championship. Created in 1911, the CIV celebrates its 100th anniversary this season with an eight-round calendar that visits all of Italy's top circuits, including the iconic Autodromo Nazionale di Monza as well as Misano, Vallelunga and Mugello. As well as the Superbike category, CIV also boasts classes for Moto 2, Supersport, Superstock 1000, Superstock 600 and 125cc machinery, and is traditionally a breeding ground for talent such as multiple Moto GP champion Valentino Rossi as well as stars including Marco Melandri and Lucio Pedercini. Commentary for Motors TV's live coverage will be provided by the experienced Jack Burnicle and former British and World Superbike racer James Haydon. Frederic Viger, Motors TV's Head of Programming and Acquisitions: "Motors TV is delighted to add coverage of the Campionato Italiano Velocita to an already-impressive roster of live championships in 2011.

Motors TV is the main channel for millions of European fans and for CIV this is one more step on the road to really becoming the 'International Tricolore'.
