Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP organizers Dorna Sports, has confirmed that the group is open to selling the series off
In recent years, Dorna has made efforts to expand the global reach and appeal of the sport, but it has not achieved the same success as Liberty Media did with Formula 1. They attempted to replicate F1’s popular Netflix series “Drive To Survive” with their own show, “Unlimited,” on Amazon Prime, but it failed to capture the public’s interest and was canceled after one season. Dorna also introduced sprint races, similar to F1, but with a half-distance outing at every round in 2023. They are also trying to enter the lucrative American market, aided by Trackhouse Racing’s takeover of RNF Racing’s Aprilia satellite deal for 2024. Rumors have circulated that Dorna might be exploring a sale of the series, a possibility that Dorna’s CEO, Carmelo Ezpeleta, confirmed. However, no sale has occurred yet, and they are prepared for any outcome.
