PADDOCK REACTION

Dan Rossomondo,

Dorna CCO “Liberty saw the potential this sport has. I think that’s the really important thing. They’re really happy with the business, and they think that once the deal gets approved, they’ll be able to add a lot to that. But the really important piece of it is how much they feel like this sport, that is so evocative of so many emotions that people have in their lives, is so exciting and inspires courage.”

Marc Marquez “I’m happy because what they did in Formula 1 made a huge difference. The target is try to get to the young generations and to create big names here in MotoGP like in the past when we had Valentino, Pedrosa, Lorenzo, Stoner.”

Pecco Bagnaia

“Liberty Media have great ideas to improve our situation, which is already good, and they’ll do that because they know what to do. They took Formula 1 to the maximum peak we ever saw it, so I think it’s a great opportunity for MotoGP.”

Jack Miller

“Everybody keeps mentioning the whole Netflix F1 thing… That’s the way the business is going. Anything that’s going to put money into the sport, that’s going to promote our sport is always good. I might be biased but I think this is the best motorsport on the planet. If we can promote that and try and get it out to the wider public is always going to be good. Rome wasn’t built in a day so I’m sure it’ll take its time. But some fresh blood looking over it could help, too.”

Brad Binder “It’s super cool. If you see the level of F1 it’s huge. Every person that watches F1 knows all the guys there. Liberty have done an amazing job in that sense. It’ll be good for MotoGP.”
