While seven races are still to run this year, the grid for the 2025 MotoGP season is already complete.
All 11 teams have announced their line-ups for next year, with plenty of riders jumping ship and several newcomers stepping up to the premier class.
Check out the full 2025 grid below
Ducati Corse
Rider 1: #63 Francesco Bagnaia – The reigning double world champion signed a new two-year contract with Ducati ahead of the 2024 campaign, taking him to the end of 2026. Bagnaia has only ever ridden for Ducati since joining MotoGP in 2019, where the 27-year-old has won 25 grands prix.
Rider 2: #93 Marc Marquez - In a bombshell U-turn from Ducati management, the eight-time world champion will step up to its factory squad instead of Jorge Martin. This would put the six-time champion next to Ducati protege Bagnaia.
KTM
Rider 1: #33 Brad Binder – The South African already had a deal in place that ran until 2025, but a new contract penned last year extended this to the end of 2026. Binder has ridden a KTM since his Moto3 days, a championship he won in 2016, while fourth is his best finishing position in MotoGP.
Rider 2: #31 Pedro Acosta - The 20-year-old has stunned in his rookie season, scoring three GP podiums on the Tech3 GasGas, and has signed a multi-year deal to step up to KTM's factory team in 2025.
Aprilia
Rider 1: #89 Jorge Martin - After Ducati's decision to promote Marc Marquez to its factory team instead of Martin, the current Pramac rider has agreed a multi-year deal to move to Aprilia.
Rider 2: #72 Marco Bezzecchi - Aprilia will have two current Ducati riders joining the team next year, with Marco Bezzecchi being recruited from VR46. His appointment also means Aprilia will finally have an Italian in its line-up.
Yamaha
Rider 1: #20 Fabio Quartararo – The 2021 world champion was a key figure in the 2025 rider market and had been in contact with rival teams, as Yamaha’s lack of competitiveness forced him to think about alternate rides for his future.
But a blockbuster €12m per year offer – as well as confidence in the direction it was heading - has convinced Quartararo to put pen to paper with the Japanese marque.
Rider 2: #42 Alex Rins - Current Yamaha rider Alex Rins was only contracted to the end of 2024 after breaking out of his two-year Honda deal at the end of 2023, but the Iwata-based brand has retained him for a further two years as part of a new contract.
Honda
Rider 1: #10 Luca Marini – The Italian has struggled to get to grips with the difficult Honda so far in 2024, but Marini is in it for the long haul after signing a two-year deal with HRC, which was a stipulation of him leaving VR46 Ducati.
Rider 2: #36 Joan Mir - Despite admitting that he considered an early retirement from MotoGP in the wake of his persistent struggles on the troubled Honda, Joan Mir has agreed a new term with the Japanese marque through to 2026. Next season will be his third year with Honda, after a four-year stint at Suzuki where he won the 2020 MotoGP world championship.
Pramac Yamaha
Rider 1: #88 Miguel Oliveira - The five-time grand prix winner is set to compete for his third team since joining MotoGP in 2019. Oliveira will become a factory Yamaha riding contesting for its new satellite team Pramac, after two seasons with Trackhouse/RNF Racing which has so far only mustered one podium, which came in the sprint race at the 2024 German GP.
Rider 2: Jack Miller - The Australian will partner Oliveira in 2025 after the four-time grand prix winner was dropped by KTM for next year. This means Pramac will have an all-new rider line-up as its current duo of Martin and Franco Morbidelli were both out of contract at the end of the season.
So it will be a year of change for Pramac, which is set to use factory spec Yamaha bikes meaning its partnership with Ducati will end. The change ended the possibility of Moto2 star Fermin Aldeguer joining the team after the 19-year-old signed a factory Ducati contract.
LCR Honda
Rider 1: #5 Johann Zarco – The Frenchman gave up the best bike of the grid at Pramac Ducati to take a ride with LCR Honda, but the job security offered by his two-year deal proved too attractive for him to pass up - even though the team is currently a backmarker.
Rider 2: Somkiat Chantra - The 25-year-old has become the first Thai rider to ever sign a MotoGP contract as he will join LCR Honda in 2025. He is set to take over the Idemitsu-backed side of the garage which has been occupied by Takaaki Nakagami since 2018, but he will become a test rider next year. Chantra is currently in his sixth season of Moto2, where sixth in 2023 was his best finish.
Gresini Ducati
Rider 1: #73 Alex Marquez - Alex Marquez will remain with Gresini next year after penning a new two-year deal prior to Sachsenring, where he returned to the podium alongside his elder brother and team-mate Marc.
Rider 2: Fermin Aldeguer - The Moto2 star had been lined up for a MotoGP ride ever since signing with Ducati at the beginning of the year. It simply became a matter of Ducati finding him a team, which was expected to be Pramac until the Italian squad signed with Yamaha. In the end, the last remaining spot was at Gresini, so the 19-year-old will partner Marquez for his rookie season.
VR46 Ducati
Rider 1: #49 Fabio Di Giannantonio - The 25-year-old is set for his second season at VR46 after a stellar opening campaign that has seen him finish inside the points for all but one of the grands prix he has started. Next year will be his fourth MotoGP season overall, after spending the first two at Gresini where he won the 2023 Qatar GP.
Rider 2: #21 Franco Morbidelli - The Italian is set to change teams again, as VR46 owner Valentino Rossi has given his protege a lifeline as he will leave Pramac after just one season. It has been an underwhelming year for Morbidelli, who has been regularly beaten by team-mate Martin meaning his 2020 season with Yamaha, which yielded three victories, is now a distant memory.
Trackhouse Racing
Rider 1: #25 Raul Fernandez - After some impressive results in the first part of the season on a year-old Aprilia, Raul Fernandez has secured a new contract with Trackhouse that includes the 2025 season.
Rider 2: Ai Ogura - The 23-year-old has finally gotten his big break after four seasons in Moto2, as Ogura will compete with Trackhouse for his rookie campaign in MotoGP. The Moto2 championship leader will replace the Pramac-bound Oliveira on a two-year deal, after beating rival Joe Roberts to the seat as the American had also held talks over a move to MotoGP.
Tech3 GasGas
Rider 1: #12 Maverick Vinales - Maverick Vinales will have an opportunity to win on four different bikes in MotoGP as he is set to leave Aprilia for Tech3, which will receive identical bikes to KTM next year.
Rider 2: #23 Enea Bastianini - Having been dropped by Ducati, Bastianini will join Tech3 as part of an all-new line-up that left Miller out in the cold.
