Yamaha's MotoGP boss Paolo Pavesio says MotoGP should be careful that its push for new markets and a broader audience does not alienate its existing fans.
Since Liberty Media's takeover of the championship last year, there has been a push by the Formula 1 owner to change the look, feel and appeal of MotoGP. Among the examples have been Liberty's stated aim to stage more races near large urban areas, the elimination of wildcard riders from 2027 and moves behind the scenes to introduce a separate grid for sprint races.
