MotoGP is undergoing a major transformation following Liberty Media’s purchase of an 84% stake in the series’ rightsholder Dorna Sports. While the actual day-to-day management of MotoGP remains in the hands of the Ezpeleta family, Liberty will be able to influence MotoGP’s strategic direction – and potentially help take the series to new heights.
Liberty’s experience in global sports and entertainment, most notably through Formula 1 and Live Nation (now spun off), makes the American media company well placed to oversee another international championship.
