Eurosport France has agreed a three-year deal to retain the broadcast rights to the MotoGP world championship.

The new deal means the network will continue as the exclusive French broadcaster of the series until the end of the 2017 season.

Eurosport will provide full live coverage of all sessions and races from all three Moto classes on its Eurosport and Eurosport 2 channels, as well as online and on mobile.

"I'm pleased to bring such a great show exclusively to our subscribers for another three years,” said Arnaud Simon, the managing director of Eurosport France.

Eurosport agreed the deal with Dorna Sports, the commercial and media rights holder of MotoGP.
