Is China Entering MotoGP? The Money, The Risk & The Future of the Grid #157

MotoGP’s future is being shaped by money — and not everyone will survive it.

On this episode of Motorsport Republica, Tom & James sit down with “MotoGP finance guy” Dario de Wet to break down where the sport is heading beyond 2026 and what the numbers really say.

From China’s growing influence to the true cost of starting a MotoGP team.

Topics covered: • Is China entering MotoGP — and why now? • CFMOTO and the real cost of joining MotoGP in 2027 • Chinese GP 2027: expansion or overreach? • Are independent teams becoming more viable — or being squeezed out? • Why Moto2 and Moto3 may not race at every round from 2027 • Early predictions for the 2026 MotoGP season
