Carmelo Ezpeleta is Dorna's man and he has every reason to be happy. Because his work over several years is bearing fruit. MotoGP has become the premier spectacle of motor sports, even dethroning Formula 1 which recognizes that it must draw inspiration from motorcycle Grands Prix to regain interest and brilliance. But to listen to the Spanish boss, the current situation, already favorable, would only be a stage...
Perfection is probably not of this world, but Dorna has ensured that its MotoGP comes close to it. Each Grand Prix is a high-flying spectacle, the gaps between the competitors are more than tight and we even see private drivers winning. Six manufacturers are taking part on a starting grid that, not so long ago, we had to put together as best we could. Today, we limit entry to 24 motorcycles… With a solid ecosystem.
The master of the place Carmelo Ezpeleta can therefore rejoice. On InSella.it, he declares : " everything is going well, we have a fun, exciting and competitive championship, currently dominated by Honda and Ducati. Yamaha is not there, but the others are fast. This is for me the best year of MotoGP since I've been here and I hope the next one will be even better ».
A 2019 campaign with 20 races announced: “ in this case the only possibility is Mexico ". Because Finland will not be ready. Finally, Carmelo Ezpeleta lifts the veil on a new project: “ the broadcast of the Grands Prix is a subject. We renewed with Sky for three years and we are still talking with Movistar. But there is another possibility: creating our own distribution network. Something that would be like Netflix with something else in it ". To be continued !
