MotoGP Experiences Exponential Growth In America
AUSTIN, TX - MARCH 30: Marco Bezzecchi (72) of Italy and Aprilia Racing leads a pack of riders up ... More the hill into turn one during the MotoGP Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas on March 30. 2025, at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas. (Photo by David Buono/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) MotoGP is growing at a rapid pace in America after Dorna Sports inked a deal with Fox Sports. MotoGP, a global phenomenon, is experiencing a 53% year-after-year growth in its American broadcast viewership. Brothers Alex and Marc Marquez have taken the world by storm, dominating MotoGP in a rare show of force from a pair of brothers competing in the same series. Marc currently leads Alex in the standings, providing a nice family touch to a growing sport. The Americas GP Sprint at Circuit of the Americas averaged 66.1K viewers on FS2, up 30% from the Argentina GP on FS1 and 86% over last season's Sprint average. The Americas GP race drew 122.9K viewers on FS1, up 24% from the Argentina GP on FS2 and 259% over last season's GP average. The growth is not surprising, as the NTT IndyCar Series' debut year on Fox is also seeing a surge in the open-wheel division's audience, as well. "We know we have a responsibility to build this sport here, because there is such a there's a very, very significant core fan base that we want to expand, but we also have to serve that existing fan base as well," MotoGP CCO Dan Rossomondo said. But the partnership with Fox is what truly has MotoGP officials and its fans excited about the sport's trajectory. The two-year deal enables some stability for the series, along with an opportunity for new fans to be introduced to it. 'We're going to get some new people trialing our sport, and I think once you trial it, you'll love it,' Rossomondo said. MotoGP is unique amongst motor sports, as its races are only 45 minutes long. It easily fits into an hour-long TV slot, and it's perfect for fans in an era when no one can sit still for several hours. Similar to Formula 1, because it is an international series, MotoGP's races often air at crazy hours in America. On the east coast, that could mean an 8 a.m. event on Sunday mornings or 5 a.m. on the west coast. 'We don't want to just rely on the 22 races that we have this year,' Rossomondo said. The growth for MotoGP should only continue, as Liberty Media will fully take over the majority control of the series. The move will only further align MotoGP with an international flare. And in America, Trackhouse Racing, owned by Justin Marks, started a MotoGP team to branch out his team. With riders Raúl Fernández and Ai Ogura, sitting 18th and 12th in the standings, respectively, America's presence in the sport is growing. 'To me, the biggest thing that Justin brings is just a fresh eye on the sport,' Rossomondo said of Marks, who owns a Nascar team. 'It takes a long time to get acclimated inside of our paddock, and he's got a lot of things going on. But he really just brings a new perspective, and it's a fresh perspective and he's always asking the right questions.' In addition to the Fox deal, MotoGP struck another deal with a major American firm. Harley-Davidson formed a new Harley-Davidson championship series that will launch next year. The 12-race series will compete during six Grand Prix, with six to eight teams. 'We want to get more eyeballs on us in the United States, and that was the kind of combination we made,' Rossomondo said of the partnership. We're going to build out a garage for them that's going to be a unique area inside our fan zone. We're going to build out different and it's going to look different than our paddock." MotoGP will compete this weekend with the GoPro Grand Prix of Aragon.

NZ watchdog mulls tightening grocery rules to create fairer playing field
New Zealand's competition regulator is proposing measures to create a fairer playing field between emerging grocery producers and the major supermarkets. In a two-pronged initiative, the Commerce Commission is also concerned that smaller grocery retailers face a disadvantage over their more dominant counterparts when it comes to securing competitive prices from large suppliers. The Commission presented its findings today (5 June) following a review of the Grocery Supply Code and is reaching out for feedback before it publishes its final report in September. "If the Commission doesn't see meaningful progress in 12 months, it will decide if regulations should be changed," the regulator said in a statement. Grocery Commissioner Pierre van Heerden explained: "We know the current grocery market is not serving Kiwi consumers well. The status quo lets a few major players set the rules for the rest of the industry which is negatively impacting consumers, new and expanding competitors, and small suppliers." He added: "These major players are the three main supermarkets and large national and multi-national suppliers. Their significant market share allows them to influence the settings of the market. This limits the ability for competing retailers to enter and grow in the market and often results in smaller suppliers getting an unfair deal." The draft recommendations to the Supply Code include curbing the circumstances in which supermarkets can bill suppliers for routine retail tasks, such as shelf stocking and display arrangement. Van Heerden highlighted the issue of a power disparity, saying that a "power imbalance between the major supermarkets and small suppliers creates a reluctance among suppliers to push back on supermarket demands or behaviour for fear of damaging relationships or losing access to supermarket shelves". New Zealand's grocery market is dominated by Foodstuffs and Woolworths. "The major supermarkets are the largest customers for most grocery suppliers," van Heerden said, controlling 82% of the market. The proposed modifications by the Commission would mandate supermarkets to keep records on how they are complying with the Code when undertaking "certain activities", including "negotiating promotions with suppliers and making deductions to payments without written consent". Looking into the wholesale supply of groceries, the Commission pointed out that promotional payments and rebates are generally inaccessible to newer or smaller retailers. 'A significant issue new and expanding supermarket competitors face is securing access to cost-effective groceries from large suppliers," Van Heerden said. "Competing retailers can't negotiate similar levels of support due to their weaker buying power." He also noted that the prevalent high-low pricing strategy used by New Zealand's major supermarkets is more extreme than in other countries, and a reduction in promotional dependence would result in more consistent and lower prices for consumers. 'The best option is for large suppliers and the major supermarkets to voluntarily change their behaviour. If they don't, we'll have to consider our other alternatives,' van Heerden said.
