MotoGP Cools Talk of Miami Race as Liberty Eyes U.S. Expansion

Strict motorcycle safety standards make any shift toward city circuits a cautious, step‑by‑step process.

Overview

  • Carlos Ezpeleta said Miami is only a long‑term option and stressed that rider safety will not be compromised.
  • Derek Chang previously called Miami a logical candidate and confirmed talks about adding a second U.S. round.
  • Analysts note the Miami International Autodrome has little runoff and many concrete walls, which is risky for bikes.
  • Liberty’s latest report shows MotoGP revenue up about 25% to $94 million with a $24 million quarterly loss after depreciation.
  • Planned 2027 moves include a Buenos Aires return and Australia shifting to Adelaide as Liberty targets venues near major cities while keeping heritage tracks.
