The owners ✅of MotoGP are in talks to sell up for £3.4 billion♐, report.

They are seeking a sale "within weeks", according to the report, but the timetable "remai꧟ns uncertain".

Bridgepoint, a private equity firm, is the biggest sha𝔉reholder in Dorna, which is MotoGP's parent ♌company, and is in negotiations with possible buyers.

Liberty Media, the owners of Formula 1, are named as an interested party by Sky ♉News. Rival bidders are als🦩o in the mix, though.

The price could deviate from €4 billion, however.

Bridgepoint owns nearly 40% of Dorna. A slightly smaller amount is owned by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB). Dorna's managemen✅t also have shares.

Bridgepoint bought MotoGP from CVC Capital Partners in 2006, after CVC Capitꦯal Partners bought into Formula 1.

Formula 1 was sold again to Liberty Media in 2017, valuinౠg the series a🐬t $8 billion.

Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta was quizzed about the possible sale of Mo𝓰toG🎀P.

He told : "The majority shareholders of Dorna are invest🦩ment funds, which buy things to sell them.

“We have always been for sale, from day one.

“We have been 🧔with Bridgepoint since 2006 and CPP since 2013.

“There are always approaches and everything.

“That's ಌit. For now, that's it. We're the same as we always were."
