A discussion took place with Motorvision for further worldwide coverage from 2023, as well as with Eurosport to continue until the end of 2022 and look forward to a renewal.

The same was for Telenet in Belgium and Automoto La Chaine in France, with both channels continuing until the end of the 2022 season and excited for a renewal, while NOS in the Netherlands has extended the existing agreement for 2022.

In Spain TV Galicia and MXGP are starting to discuss a renewal for the upcoming season, while Movistar is set to continue to showcase the 26min Behind-the-Gate magazine.

Potential new deals include increased PAN TV coverage in South America, with negotiations in place for additional broadcasters, as well as more interest from countries including Germany, United Kingdom and Kosovo.
