Is Spain's dominance of the MotoGP grid a problem and, if so, what's the best way to fix it?

Of course it is not a problem (only for Liberty Media in its efforts to have riders from multiple nations to help grow MotoGP in one specific way). Spanish and Italian riders largely dominate the paddock as those countries invested in creating a pathway that has yielded results.

Spanish/Italian dominance is only a problem if an international quota is enforced by the organizational tier before the organizational tier does its part to invest in international Motorsport at the youth levels. If they want to impose a passport rule, the most dominant logos on leathers for international youth riders should be Dorna and Liberty Media’s.

First off, it's not just Spain - it's Spain and Italy. Ultimately, those are the countries producing the best riders at the moment. It should be a meritocracy and it broadly is. Those two nations dominate because they take motorcycle racing the most seriously. We shouldn't lower the overall quality of the grid purely so Liberty can appeal to more markets.
