Formula 1 owner Liberty Media intends to finalise its purchase of the MotoGP World Championship for a figure of around €4 billion.
The deal could be announced in the coming days, ahead of the third round of the 2024 MotoGP season at the Americas Grand Prix on 12-14 April. Motorsport.com understands that executives from Liberty and Dorna Sports, the promoter of the MotoGP, WorldSBK and MotoE World Championships, finalised the deal weeks ago. In fact, the intention of both parties was to make it official before the first grand prix of the year in Qatar.
Bridgepoint, which became a shareholder in 2006 - it bought its shares from CVC - owns about 40% of the shares, while CPPIB manages 38%.
