  • Liberty Media's $4.4 billion attempt to acquire a majority stake in MotoGP's Dorna Sports faces significant opposition from EU antitrust regulators.

Liberty Media's proposed $4.4 billion acquisition of MotoGP, the premier motorcycle racing series, has encountered regulatory scrutiny in Europe.
