The company specializes in motorsports and cycling, overseeing Grand Prix motorcycle racing, which represents the highest class of motorcycle road racing events held on road circuits sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM).

Marc Marquez secured a MotoGP pole position at Jerez on April 25, breaking a drought that stretched back to August last year, with rain on Saturday morning helping his effort after he was half-a-second behind brother Alex in dry conditions on Friday. Earlier that day, former Red Bull Formula 1 team principal Christian Horner visited Jerez, commenting that MotoGP is experiencing "a really interesting time" under its new ownership. Horner led Red Bull's F1 team from 2005 to 2025, securing eight world titles. Also on April 25, MotoGP announced a change to its delayed start procedure, which will now resume the warm-up lap countdown from the 5-minute board instead of the 3-minute board, effective from the Spanish Grand Prix. Previously, on April 24, Pirelli, designated as the sole tyre supplier for MotoGP from next year, delivered the second batch of 80 prototype tyres to the five participating manufacturers: Ducati, Aprilia, Yamaha, Honda, and KTM. This follows an initial distribution made late last year, with KTM being the first to test its 2027 prototype at Jerez in early December with Pol Espargaro.
MotoGP sells broadcasting rights of its motorsports competitions to 60 companies globally, covering 11 countries. MotoGP's rights holders include PCCW.
