Liberty Media eye new opportunity

According to Sky News, Liberty Media could be interested in making a move to acquire the MotoGP series, with long-standing owner Bridgepoint seeking a sale.

Over 18 years they too have helped the two-wheeled sport to grow since acquiring it for a reported £500 million in 2006, but Liberty Media could represent a chance to take the MotoGP brand to another level.

It’s unlikely to reach a similar level of fanfare to Formula 1, but judging by the success of their previous operations, fans should not be averse to this move going ahead.
