A now well-established ritual, the presentation of the Michelin Grand Prix de France MotoGP allows each of the stakeholders to express themselves by drawing up the legitimately always positive assessment of the last edition and by addressing the new features of the coming chapter, and in this regard, between Claude Michy (PHA) the organizer, Pierre Fillon (ACO) the host, Sébastien Poirier (FFMoto), Nora Vass, the Marketing Director of Michelin Motorsports, And Thomas Sénécal (Canal+) the broadcaster, it was the latter who spoke first, a tangible sign of the importance of the media in this ecosystem...
At Canal+, we love MotoGP, and it was even at the encrypted channel's headquarters, called One, that this presentation took place. We love it and we're delighted, as evidenced by the few figures provided by the Canal+ Group's Director of Sports:
– MotoGP broadcast at least until the end of 2029.
– More than 600 viewers for the Thailand Grand Prix, the average for the 000 GPs (+2024% in 50 years).
– Nearly a million for the Argentine Grand Prix (in the top 10 GPs since 2019).
– The 2025 Americas GP was the best Americas GP since 2019.
– The 2024 French Grand Prix was watched by nearly 1 viewers.
– Continued success of the “Team Zarco” series.
As a result, the Editor-in-Chief of Motor Sports at Canal+, Nicolas Allix, indicated the new features implemented in 2025 for the French Grand Prix.
