Almost all the brands that ask me what Liberty Media will do with MotoGP<\/strong> are waiting for an announcement. A press conference, a slide outlining the five-year strategy, a press release that spells out in black and white where the championship is headed. They\u2019ll keep waiting, and when the announcement comes, it won\u2019t say anything that isn\u2019t already clear today. Because that roadmap isn\u2019t found in announcements. It\u2019s found on the ground. <\/p>\n

Read the construction site, not the press release<\/h2>\n

When you walk past a construction site, you already know what kind of building is taking shape long before the ribbon-cutting ceremony. You can tell from the foundations being laid, the number of cranes, the posted permits, and\u2014above all\u2014the company doing the work. If that same company has just finished an identical tower two blocks away, you don\u2019t need a rendering: you know what you\u2019re looking at. <\/p>\n

MotoGP is a construction site of this kind<\/strong>. The company is Liberty Media<\/strong>, and the tower it has just completed is called Formula 1. The detail that almost no one has focused on is that the architect is literally the same man: Chase Carey,<\/strong> the CEO of the Formula One Group during Liberty\u2019s transformation (2017\u20132021), is now president of MotoGP Sports Entertainment, having taken over from William Nicholas Jackson following the acquisition. Carmelo Ezpeleta remains CEO, with thirty years of MotoGP experience behind him. The connection is clear: those who know the sport continue to manage it, while those who built the F1 business model are replicating it in MotoGP. <\/p>\n

For a CEO or CMO considering entering the market, this is the starting point. The question isn\u2019t whether the league will undergo a commercial transformation, but how quickly and in which direction\u2014and that direction is already mapped out in a plan that exists and has worked before. <\/p>\n

Four pieces already installed<\/h2>\n

The construction site has four visible foundations. These are facts, not predictions. <\/p>\n

Leadership.<\/strong> Between February and May 2026, the sales team was overhauled. Borja de Altolaguirre<\/strong> \u2014who joined from Paris Saint-Germain and the NBA\u2014is the new Head of Sponsorship. Vince Russell<\/strong>, who spent fifteen years at Sky and then served as CFO of Channel 4, is the new Chief Financial Officer: a media professional, not a sports finance expert. Daniel Ruiz<\/strong>, formerly of Adidas, leads hospitality and licensing. The search for a Chief Commercial Officer is still ongoing. Anyone entering MotoGP today will be dealing with people coming from properties where sponsorship packages are sold at prices MotoGP has never asked for. <\/p>\n

The intention, however, is clear. Carlos Ezpeleta<\/strong>, a key figure in the sport\u2019s transition, put it this way: the owners are in no hurry to monetize; they are in a hurry to lay the groundwork for growth. Translated into business terms: today\u2019s prices are starting prices, not steady-state prices. It\u2019s a window that management itself admits it wants to keep open for just a little while longer. <\/p>\n

Distribution in the United States.<\/strong> MotoGP has renewed its agreement with Fox Sports through 2026: the Austin Grand Prix will air on the free-to-air Fox channel, with other races on FS1 and FS2, and the MotoGP Channel\u2014a free channel dedicated to the U.S. market\u2014will launch in mid-2025. The financial terms have not been made public, but the move is clear: to stake a claim in the market that F1 conquered first. For a brand with American ambitions, this is the signal that matters more than any slide: the inventory window in the United States is opening now, before demand\u2014and thus the price\u2014catches up to it. <\/p>\n

The numbers are in.<\/strong> In the first quarter of 2026\u2014the first consolidated MotoGP financials released by Liberty\u2014 revenue grew by 25%<\/strong> to $94 million. The figure that really matters is primary revenue (TV rights, race hospitality fees, sponsorship): from $64 million to $83 million, a 30% increase in a single quarter. The championship still closed the period with an operating loss of $24 million, on operating costs that rose to $78 million due to freight and the calendar. But Adjusted OIBDA grew by 60% to $16 million on a pro-forma basis. This is precisely the trajectory of a company that spends today to reap rewards tomorrow. <\/p>\n

The evolving calendar.<\/strong> For 2027, it has already been announced that the Australian Grand Prix will move from Phillip Island to Adelaide<\/strong>, where it will be held on a street circuit\u2014the first street circuit in MotoGP history\u2014and that the series will return to Argentina, specifically to Buenos Aires, at the renovated Aut\u00f3dromo Oscar y Juan G\u00e1lvez. Liberty has identified Miami as the \u201clogical\u201d destination for a second U.S. race. In other words, the calendar is shifting toward cities and markets with high commercial value. <\/p>\n

The template is documented<\/h2>\n

None of this would matter much if it weren’t for the precedent. We have it, and it’s recent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Liberty took over Formula 1 in 2017, it did four things in its first three years. It opened up the American market with a content series<\/strong> \u2014*Drive to Survive* on Netflix, which debuted in 2019\u2014and the U.S. audience nearly tripled within a few seasons. It expanded the sponsor base<\/strong>: the number of American companies in the championship roughly doubled, and the series\u2019 total sponsorship revenue rose from $273 million in 2017 to over $630 million in 2024. He renegotiated TV rights<\/strong>, starting with the U.S. contract, securing deals worth significantly more than the previous ones. It introduced the cost cap<\/strong> in 2021: before the cap, top teams were spending $400\u2013500 million a year while operating at a significant loss; afterward, the financial picture improved dramatically\u2014several teams moved toward breaking even or turning a profit, and valuations skyrocketed. To give you an idea, the Mercedes F1 Team reported an operating profit of \u00a3167 million in 2025, thus transforming from perpetual cost centers into valued assets\u2026 from an expense to an investment. Final result: a Formula 1 team acquired for approximately $4.4 billion in equity value (on an enterprise value of around $8 billion) that today, as a publicly traded group, is worth over $20 billion. <\/p>\n

Liberty paid \u20ac4.2 billion in enterprise value for an 84% stake in Dorna, with the deal finalized in July 2025. No investor spends that kind of money just to manage the status quo. They spend it to replicate, using the same model, what has already proven successful once before. The rebranding in February 2026\u2014the name change from Dorna Sports to MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group and the\u201cWired Different\u201d<\/em> campaign, which are based on the new visual identity designed by Pentagram and unveiled as early as late 2024\u2014is the first public unveiling of that project. <\/p>\n

What Almost Everyone Gets Wrong<\/h2>\n

Two mistakes, opposite and mirror images of each other.<\/p>\n

The first step is to wait for the official announcement.<\/strong> This is the mindset of a cautious decision-maker: \u201cWe\u2019ll decide once we have the strategy in hand.\u201d But in an organization undergoing transition, strategy never arrives in the form of a document; it arrives in the form of building blocks laid one by one, like the ones mentioned above. Those who wait for the final announcement will enter a market where prices have already been adjusted, alongside a Head of Sponsorship who comes from PSG and the NBA and knows exactly how much certain packages are worth. <\/p>\n

The second mistake is the opposite: treating every move made in F1 as an automatic guarantee for MotoGP<\/strong>. It isn\u2019t, and careful analysis is key. It\u2019s best to distinguish between three levels. There is what has been confirmed<\/strong> \u2014the appointments, the rebrand, the first-quarter financials, the Fox deal, and the 2027 calendar changes. There is what is analogous<\/strong> to F1 but not yet announced for MotoGP\u2014most notably a \u201cDrive to Survive\u201d-style docuseries: plausible, consistent with the media profile of the new executives, but as of today with no confirmation of production. And there is what has been stated as an intention but not finalized<\/strong> \u2014the second American race, where Liberty itself acknowledges that the Miami track poses safety issues that are far more pressing for motorcycles than for single-seaters. Treating the three plans as if they were the same plan is the quickest way to build a business case that doesn\u2019t hold up. <\/p>\n

The scale, however, will be different. MotoGP\u2019s current U.S. partner base is minimal; the impact of a media product, when it arrives, will start from a much lower baseline than that of F1. The platform is the same, but the reach is not. <\/p>\n

How to Read a Roadmap, in Practice<\/h2>\n

When a brand asks us this question\u2014\u201cShould we jump in now, or wait until the picture is clear?\u201d\u2014our job is to turn the work in progress into a decision, not a waiting game.<\/p>\n

First, separate the three levels of certainty and build the business case solely on the confirmed data, using the analogous scenario as a baseline and the stated scenario as an option. Second, value the next 12\u201324-month window: every foundation that becomes a building\u2014the CCO taking office, a docuseries launching, a second tender closing\u2014is a point at which the inventory is revalued. To give a concrete order of magnitude: a title sponsorship for an established satellite team is currently worth 3\u20135 million euros per year; once the editorial product is launched and commercial agreements are finalized, the same package is estimated at 6\u201310 million<\/strong>. About double in two years, which is exactly the scale of the revaluation seen in F1 between 2017 and 2020. Those who sign first sign at construction site prices; those who sign later, at the prices of the finished building<\/strong>. It is the same temporal asymmetry we described regarding MotoGP versus F1 pricing and team valuations. <\/p>\n

There is also a structural choice that the roadmap makes even more important, not less so. In a property whose value is rising, the enduring asset is not the driver of the moment but the relationship with the team and the championship: drivers change teams, but the property\u2019s value trajectory remains. Those who build their sponsorship around a multi-year relationship with a factory team reap the benefits of appreciation year after year; those who build it around the face of a single season remain exposed to the driver market. It is a distinction that carries more weight precisely when the underlying value is rising. <\/p>\n

Third\u2014and here we return to the principle we always emphasize\u2014 product category exclusivity is secured immediately<\/strong>. In a property that is gaining value, the most undervalued asset isn\u2019t the logo on the bodywork: it\u2019s the right to be the sole representative in one\u2019s sector when the championship is worth twice as much. And activation is written into the contract from day one, because a package without activation, here as elsewhere, remains an empty sticker. The B2B density of the paddock and the first-party data of a captive audience are precisely the levers that a property led by media professionals will learn to monetize first. <\/p>\n

The window, and what to do with it<\/h2>\n

Liberty\u2019s roadmap for MotoGP isn\u2019t a mystery waiting to be revealed. It\u2019s a building under construction, designed by someone who has already completed an identical one, with foundations visible to anyone who knows how to read them. The full picture will emerge with upcoming announcements. The shape of the building is already clear. <\/p>\n

For a brand, this means only one thing: the question isn\u2019t \u201cwhat Liberty will do,\u201d because that\u2019s largely predictable.<\/strong> The decision is whether to join while the foundation is being laid or after the grand opening, knowing that the ticket price differs between the two times.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been analyzing those fundamentals professionally for over thirty years, first in F1 and now in MotoGP. Sit back, relax\u2014we\u2019ve got it covered. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
