Overview
- MotoGP and the five manufacturers agreed and signed a Concorde-style commercial and governance pact on Friday that binds them through 2031.
- Organisers confirmed a parallel agreement with the series’ 11 teams has been finalised and will be formally presented at a Brno press conference.
- Earlier talks this season became public and heated as teams negotiated as a united bloc to press for a bigger share of revenue and more say over calendar and sporting matters.
- With the contracts signed, rider transfers and previously frozen market announcements are expected to be disclosed in the coming days, freeing up commercial and sponsorship activity.
- The deal follows Liberty Media’s 84% takeover and rebrand of Dorna and adopts a Formula 1-style system that ties commercial, technical and sporting rules to provide longer-term stability for manufacturers and the championship.
