MotoGP 2022: Everything you need to know ahead of the new season

The fastest sport on two wheels roars back into life this weekend as another season of MotoGP comes to BT Sport.

It all begins at Losail as the Qatar Grand Prix gets us under way for another breathless eight months of high-speed drama across the globe.

As always, we’ll bring you our unmissable coverage of the action, including every practice session, qualifying - and the showpiece race itself.

Our unrivalled line-up of experts will return too, including Suzi Perry, Neil Hodgson, Gavin Emmett and Michael Laverty, giving you their exclusive insight on events as they happen as well as comprehensive race analysis and exhaustive post-event breakdowns.

And with coronavirus restrictions hopefully easing around the world, we’ll endeavour to return trackside at as many events as possible, keeping our ear to the ground to bring you the inside track on the latest gossip from the paddock.

There’s never been a better time for MotoGP fans to subscribe to BT Sport, giving you unfiltered access to the incredible enhanced player available on our award-winning app.

How to watch the 2022 Qatar GP

A new era in MotoGP begins this weekend as Fabio Quartararo begins the defence of his world championship crown against a crowded field of challengers - but for the first time in more than two decades, there will be no Valentino Rossi in the chasing pack.

The iconic Italian rider called time on the sport’s most iconic career at the end of last season, but with a talented crop of athletes coming through as the next generation, the future of MotoGP looks to be in safe hands.

Can Quartararo make a winning start to the season? Will Maverick Vinales look for a second successive win at Losail? Can Marc Marquez rediscover the winning formula after an injury-hit 2021?

Tune in this weekend to find out!

Make your device's home page spoiler-free!

You asked, we listened! The latest version of our award-winning app on mobile and tablets allows you to customise your home page to avoid seeing spoilers the morning after the big races.

To make the switch to a spoiler-free home page, open up the app and click 'More' in the bottom corner.

Under 'Settings', change the 'Landing page' option from 'Home' to 'Spoiler-free replays'.

You will then need to exit and close your app. Once you reload the app, your home page will default to the 'Spoiler-free' tab in the 'Sports' navigation menu.

Once you're done in spoiler-free mode, you can either revert your home page back to the default option - or simply navigate away from the spoiler-free tab and check out some of our other must-see content across the app.
