Steve & the BBC’s MotoGP coverage

Steve started commentating on BBC’s MotoGP coverage in 2002. Currently working along-side his good friend Charlie Cox, the pair are joined by BBC presenter Matt Roberts and pit-lane reporter Azi Farni.

Steve and the rest of the BBC MotoGP gang travel around the world to bring you the best coverage of the MotoGP World Championship - including pre-race buildup, exclusive rider interviews, live race coverage and expert post-race analysis.

Full coverage of the Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP races is shown on BBC2 and then again on the BBC's iPlayer service for the next seven days.
