Rookies TV goes live as the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup starts in Jerez
The future World Champions begin their battle for the 2009 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup this coming weekend as part of the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez. The 3rd Rookies season starts with two races, one on Saturday May 2nd and one on Sunday May 3rd, the beginning of an 8 race Cup.
The promotion of Rookie talent has got another boost with the news that one of this year's Cup favourites, the 17 year old Norwegian Sturla Fagerhaug, will have the first of a number of Wild Card rides as part of the factory Red Bull KTM 125 team at the following Grand Prix in France. Cameron Beaubier, his team mate for that event, is also an ex Rookie and with Lorenzo Savadori, Matt Hoyle and Johann Zarco all ex Rookies with regular GP rides this year the alumni are starting to populate the 125 GP class.
This season for the first time fans will be able to watch the Rookies races live thanks to a satellite feed to the Rookies Cup website www.redbullrookiescup.com and this will continue all year. After the event the recorded races will remain on the Rookies TV section of the site. All the Rookies races and other features will also be available to broadcast media through Red Bull's content pool at www.redbullcontentpool.com
