For Media Presentation
MotoGP hit London yesterday, for the World Championship`s traditional preseason launch for the British media.
The Dominion Theatre played host to the event, which had a distinct UK feel. After a video introducing the 2006 season, British riders Chaz Davies and Bradley Smith took to the stage for a short round of questions in front of the gathered journalists.

With bikes from Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha unveiled, as well as a presentation on the improvements to the Donington Park circuit, the event wasn`t just about the riders. Paul Denning accompanied his (half-British) rider John Hopkins to the stage for more presentations, also a homecoming of sorts seeing as the team are based in Dorset.

The fourth estate were treated to some media news of their own at the bash. The BBC`s Belinda Rogerson announced that in addition to the channel`s MotoGP coverage`s continuation in 2006, there would also be an extra 30 minutes dedicated to the sport after the Sunday race on the channel`s BBCi digital feature.
