The 2011 FIM Motocross World Championship will be broadcast live over the internet this season, commencing at this weekend’s opening round in Bulgaria this weekend.

Youthstream announced the launch of MX-LIFE.TV recently, the new live streaming and video on demand (VOD) platform, to follow the Motocross World Championship and all the other series promoted by Youthstream.

MX-LIFE.TV has different packages available to adapt its offer to the viewer’s needs, from season packages, including the Monster Energy Motocross of Nations, to Grand Prix passes.

“MXLIFE.TV is not only a milestone for the future of Motocross but for sport in general, it is the future of television,” Giuseppe Luongo, Youthstream’s president, said.

“With this new step Youthstream believes to bring more fans to Motocross as we can be in each home throughout the world. We intend to present the sport not only in the traditional way with live, highlights and news, but to go deeper, more social, more curiosity, more dialogue and more participation.”

For the first time, there will be a TV Studio at each paddock of every Grand Prix to talk to special guests and present some unique features, including riders interviews and images from the best paddock girls, exclusively produced for MX-LIFE.TV.

Saturday’s qualifying heats will also be exclusively broadcasted LIVE on MX-LIFE.TV and commented by former rider Paul Malin.

MX-LIFE.TV also offers the live webcast of the MX1 and MX2 Grand Prix’s, the complete European series, including EMX2 and EMX125, the Veterans World Championship and the first round of the Women’s Motocross World Championship.

There will also be complete highlights of the MX3 series, the rest of the WMX rounds, the whole SuperMoto World Championship, the Junior Motocross World Championship and the Snowcross World Championship.

A highlights package will also be available in delayed coverage on FOXTEL in Australia, expected to be on SPEED.
