World Superbikes has not yet been significantly mentioned in the Liberty Media takeover of MotoGP.

Liberty, the owners of F1, acquired 86% of Dorna Sports this week f🦄or a꧋ price of €4.2 billion.

MotoGP is the jewel in Dorna’s grasp but, obviously, i🐟s not the only series that it is the rights holᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚder for.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:WSBK is the other notable series under the Dorna banner, as well ꦰas Moto2 and Moto3 an♌d the Women’s World Championship.

WSBK, Moto2, Moto3 and the Women’s World Championship are now owned by Liberty Media as part of the sam💙e deal which took over MotoGP.

WSBK carried the same messaging of the bomb🔜shell❀ announcement on Monday that MotoGP shared.

In Liberty’s first major public address after the deal was🍬 announced, MotoGP was the only series which was mentioned in detail.

The Women’s World Championship - a new series which will 🍎start this year - was descri❀bed as a key way to attract new fans.

But how WSBK fits into the new 🐷era remains a mystery.

Liberty have spoken about♚ how “storytelling” is a crucial focus to improve the growth of MotoGP.

Will🤡 Liberty make it a priority to also ಞtell the stories from the WSBK grid?

One thing is certain. Mot🔥oGP and WSBK will not host joint-race weekends.

Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezp𒀰eleta told : “It's something🌳 that has been talked about for a long time and the reality, being very direct, I do not know the benefit.

“Clearly it would make exposure to Superb🎃ike more relevant, MotoGP I think would hav𝕴e little to do there.

“There is quite an important crossover of fans and I don't know if the people who go to Montmelo for Superbikes… I thin🐻k they also go to MotoGP.

“It doesn't make a lot of sense with both together because you are not going to attract more people and you have to🍃 pay for both things, Superbike and MotoGP, so it doesn't make much sense at the moment.”
