New MotoGP Presenter For The BBC

Jennie Gow, Moto GP Presenter

After all the new bikes and liveries, plus line-up changes, the final question to be answered about the 2010 MotoGP season - who will be presenting the BBC's MotoGP coverage, well that is now in the open Jennie Gow

A massive sports fan, Jennie is a highly talented presenter and journalist. Her presenting career began as a co-commentator for Speedway and the FIM World Longtrack Championships.

Jennie’s love of two wheel racing saw her move on to presenting for the Maxxis British Motocross Championship, Thundersport GB and the Weston Beach Race. Jennie’s also worked in the world of Rallying presenting the Jersey Rally in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

In addition to Motorsport Jennie also knows her stuff when it comes to Football, Rugby and Cricket and has also presented for Sky Sports news for the past two years.

Jennie is now the official BBC Moto GP presenter and will be covering races live from around the world from April 2010.

Suzi Perry, the face of MotoGP for more than a decade, decided in the close season to step down and concentrate on other work.

Her replacement 32-year-old Jennie Gow has an extensive background in newspapers, radio and television, presenting motocross and speedway, and says she is thrilled at the prospect of getting involved with the world of elite-class motorbikes.

In an announcement from the corporation Gow told the BBC "I've always been interested in sport in general but my first foray into sports broadcasting was with bikes, so I'm biased towards them," she added.

There were some thrilling races and battles in the 2009 campaign before Valentino Rossi ran away with the world title and Jennie cannot wait for the new campaign to start.

"There were some amazing races last year and I think it will be even better in 2010 - there are some real grudges there, and with Ben Spies coming through, there's going to be loads going on."

This sport is all about the riders and the stories, not me. I'm there to relay it to the people who can't be there, it's about getting that sense of excitement across to those watching
