Champion in the making here. A season or two with GasGas and he’ll be snapped up by Ducati or KTM and will be adding a MotoGP title to his Moto3 and Moto2 titles before long.

F1 owner Liberty Media takes over MotoGP in $4bn deal with Dorna. Dorna Sports has officially announced that Formula 1 owner Liberty Media has finalised its purchase of the MotoGP World Championship.
The American entertainment company, which has owned the rights to Formula 1 since 2016, will take over Dorna, which has owned MotoGP since 1992 and also controls WSBK and the MotoE World Cup, in a deal valued at €4.2 billion.
Liberty will take 86% of the shares of the Spanish company, with the remaining 14% remaining with MotoGP management.

- 100% sustainable fuel from 2027 – rising from the minimum 40% the sport has raced with since 2024
- Aerodynamics will be reduced and more tightly controlled from 2027
- All ride-height and holeshot devices will be banned
- GPS data from all riders will be available to all teams after each session

“MotoGP stands with the Community of Valencia following the devastating floods that have affected the area. Our hearts are with all those who have been lost and those who have lost so much."
MotoGP confirming this evening that the 2024 season finale (and probably season deciding) Grand Prix - scheduled for 17 November - will not be held in Valencia following the catastrophic floods in that area.
Dorna will relocate the race to an alternate venue and hold the event a week later than originally scheduled.
