MotoGP’s chief sporting officer, Carlos Ezpeleta, emphasizes that safety will always be a top priority for the championship, even as there are talks about potentially racing at Formula 1’s Miami GP venue. Liberty Media’s interest in the Miami International Autodrome has sparked discussions about expanding MotoGP’s presence in the US, but concerns arise due to the circuit’s design primarily for four-wheel racing and limited run-off areas. Despite the potential for modifications around the Hard Rock Stadium area, proximity to walls in the current layout raises safety worries for MotoGP riders. Ezpeleta states that any Miami race plans are a long-term consideration, with a strong emphasis on ensuring rider safety remains paramount in the calendar planning. While exploring new race options, Dorna focuses on growing MotoGP in the US, with the Austin event seen as having significant potential, emphasizing that safety standards will never be compromised for any future races.
