The branding, in which Eurosport stakes its "Big on Bikes" claim, will appear on every motorsport article within the site.

The broadcaster is also providing online blogs from Eurosport commentator Jamie Whitham and British Superbike Championship rider Karl Harris.

A two-minute race highlights video from Eurosport's live British Superbikes coverage is also being streamed on the site after each round of the championships.
