Liberty ♌Media’s MotoGP takeover has posed the question of whether the sport will have a more intern💧ational feel.

Currently, 10 ♚of the 22 MotoGP riders are either Spanish or Catalan.

Dorn🎐a, who will cont⛎inue to manage the series, are based in Spain.

Carmelo Ezpeleta, Dorna CEO, was asked by if riders could crop up from differen🦂t parts of the world due to Liberty’s influence.

“It is the world motorcycle championship and the best riders in the world are there,” he🌠 replied.

“I don't know any rider with a level that could be in M🦩otoGP better 🍰than the 22 that are.

“I don't know any, if anyone knows one, let me know. 🍎That's how it is.

“I always explain that when they asked Dan Rossomondo [MotoGP commercial director] if there were many Spanish riders in a global sport, he said: 'I come from the NBA, it is a global sportℱ, which is seen all over the world, which has global coverage and it's not that there are many Americans, it's that 90 percent are Americans and people don't care!’

“People🅘 want to see, and we have to continue creating, the best spectacle and the best sport that can be done in MotoGP.

“And that's where we are.”

There is no MotoGP rider from t♓he UK or America, curren✨tly.

Liberty, the US-based empire wh♐o also own Formula 1,꧋ have had an impact on the F1 calendar.

Grands prix have app💫eared in notable US locations Las Vegas and M🐽iami.

Jeddah and Doha have also been added ♓to an F1 c🅺alendar which visits more regions around the world.

Could more MotoGP rounds be held out🅠side of Europe?

It is possible, but not now,” Ezpeleta said.

“The races that are or will be held in 2024, 2025 and 2026 are practically all confir🐎med.

“From there, if we increase... we cannot do more than 22 and we increase the raceꦕs outside Europe, since some in Europe will have to be reduced.”
