British private investment company Bridgepoint Group plc (LSE:BPT) is in advanced talks to sell Dorna Sports (Dorna Sports, S.L.), which holds the commercial rights to MotoGP, in a bid to raise GBP 3.5 billion ($4.43 billion), Sky News reported on March 2, 2024. Bridgepoint declined to comment on the report. Liberty Media Corporation, which also owns Formula One, is said to be the frontrunner to buy Dorna, although it is reportedly facing competition from a number of rival bidders.

Dorna Sports and Liberty Media did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. London-listed Bridgepoint, which owns close to 40% of Dorna, is trying to close the deal within few weeks, Sky News said citing a single source.
