MotoGP fans have one more reason to be cheerful with the news that Liam ‘MotoLiam’ Schubert has joined OTT (onthethrottle.com) to present a brand new MotoGP web show, an interactive webcast if you like, that actively encourages viewer participation in discussing the latest news, races and stories from the MotoGP world. The show is called All Things Moto(GP) and can be viewed HERE and starts on Monday, March 1st at 6PM Pacific standard time.

Despite us all being waist deep in the digital age, MotoGP seems to be still dipping its toe in the interactive waters with much content being firmly locked behind subscription walls. This can be frustrating when content owners could be driving far more page views and new fans to the sport with a well managed web strategy. We understand that content can be expensive, and we aren’t asking for all races to be 100% free, but key highlights such as the battle between Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi at Catalunya in 2009 currently only merits a 50 second video clip on YouTube from the offical MotoGP channel that cannot be embedded on any other sites or blogs. So much for distribution and allegedly promoting a worldwide sport.

So a decent show, with a quality presenter (i.e. Liam) is a very welcome addition to the internet and a huge bonus for race fans.

The show will follow the entire MotoGP season and will take the form of a live webcast and will include a studio audience as well as instant feedback and questions from OTT viewers around the world, simply by logging on and registering at: www.OnTheThrottle.tv

For those unable to join in on the action in realtime, the shows will be available for viewing simply by clicking on the OTT Live header, http://www.onthethrottle.com/content/view/533/64/

For those of you who may not be aware of Liam Schubert, let me tell you that he is a fascinating pundit for MotoGP and will be well worth tuning in to. MotoLiam used to work in the MotoGP paddock, most recently as part of the engineering team for Pramac Ducati and his frank analysis and technical insights pull no punches. More info below:
