Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei has stated that there are no plans to make significant changes to MotoGP following the company’s complete takeover of the sport. Liberty Media recently acquired 86% ownership of Dorna Sports for €4.2 billion, with the deal set to be finalized by the end of 2024. Maffei addressed concerns about balancing the need for revenue with the growth of MotoGP, emphasizing that the two are not mutually exclusive. He believes that as the fanbase and demand for the sport increase, monetization opportunities will naturally follow. Maffei expressed confidence in the current state of MotoGP, describing it as an incredible product with a passionate fanbase and intense competition. The goal of the takeover is to expand the sport’s audience and attract a wider range of commercial partners. Despite initial fears among fans that the takeover would lead to significant changes, Dorna CEO Carlos Ezpeleta reassured them that MotoGP does not have the infrastructure to accommodate street circuit venues like Formula 1.
