After spending twenty years in MotoGP with Ducati, Honda, and Suzuki, Livio Suppo is now active as a racing consultant for the Italtrans team in Moto2.
A few days ago, the news of Dorna’s acquisition by Liberty Media was announced, which will be completed in the coming months, and Moto Sprint asked the Piedmont pilot exclusively what he thinks about the matter.
– ‘As a fan, it is something I hope will lead MotoGP to grow globally. We know that MotoGP has always been a very strong sport in only a few countries – Spain, Italy, Indonesia – but in other areas it is just a fan sport. Formula 1 in recent years was in decline, objectively these gentlemen from Liberty – Stefano Domenicali above all – are doing a great job. Then, the more conservative complain that there are too many races on city circuits, but what matters is the number of people watching the event and that is increasing. Both on the track and in front of television screens. There are a large number of major sponsors. The arrival of Liberty to Formula 1 has done very well, I hope they can finalize the operation and do the same in MotoGP.’
