Soup thinks that in a short sprint race, Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna since 1994, at age 78, would smoke both these other guys. Easily.
There was a press conference held this morning at CotA regarding the Liberty take over of MotoGP. On the podium were Carlos Ezpeleta, Carmelo Ezpeleta and Dan Rossomondo.
It looked very much like Carmelo was off from the presser to have a meeting with MotoAmerica men Wayne Rainey and Chuck Aksland. Quick! Buy MotoA stock!
Herewith a short interview of Carmelo I "conducted" outside the press conference.
Dean: Okay, so you say that you are going to have more races in the United States in the future.Carmelo: Yes.
Dean: Okay, where?
Carmelo: We are very happy here at CotA. It is a beautiful circuit and we have a good relationship with CotA.
Dean: Okay, in order to have more races in the United States you will need more tracks. Where will these races be held? I seriously doubt MotoGP riders will ride at, for example, Brainerd.
Carmelo: We're very happy here at CotA.
Dean. Ah, okay. Again you're going to need to go to different tracks in order to have more races in the United States.
Carmelo: Yes.
Dean: Do you see a return to Laguna Seca if the track can be made to better fit homolagation?
Carmelo: No. Never.
Dean: Then how about the Indianapolis Motor Speedway?
Carmelo: No. Never.
