Big news regarding the takeover of MotoGP by Liberty Media. While this takeover has been in the pipeline for months, we have learned in recent hours that this takeover is being studied by the European Commission, which is asking questions about the possibility of such a transaction in relation to the laws linked to competition. Dorna Sports, current owner of MotoGP, spoke in a press release to say more on this subject. But there seems to be no need for concern. Thus, all parties have agreed to extend the review process and seem certain that the European Commission will reach a positive conclusion.

In the meantime, we remain committed to our strategy which aims to take the sport to new heights and continue our impressive growth by reaching even more fans around the world, who already number 500 million.
