2025 MotoGP Discussion Thread *SPOILERS*

[Klurejr]

Testing Season has started in preparation for the 2025 racing calendar. What are you hoping to see?


For me I want to see a return to a variety of Manufacturers and Riders winning races.

Jorge on the Aprilla means we will see it on the podium more often.

Yamaha seemed to make improvements all season long. Hopefully the new V4 puts them back on top. It is obvious that Fabio is competitive when the bike is not.

I still think 6 Ducati's is two too many. IMO there should be one Factory team and one Satellite team per brand.

Despite all the other woes KTM is experiencing right now they have dedicated to running a full Moto GP program in 2025. I hope that pays off for them.

I predict that MM will take himself and Pecco out of at least one Practice, Qualifying or Race this year.

Riders whom I think should retire from the GP Class - Vinales and Mir.

Mir has been sad all season. Had to be expensive for the team to keep rebuilding after each crash. If Jorge can get the Aprillia to win it will be a testament to his skill.

How does F1 handle this issue?

Vinales was the only non Ducati winner this year and he did it in dominant fashion.

Yep, he is either red hot or very very cold. he was the same at Yamaha and Suzuki.

The Aprilla's are fast, the riders are just not as consistent as Martin or Fabio.

I predict that outside of some growing pains with a new factory Jorge will be consistently at the top on the Aprilla.
