MotoGP 2025: Full rider line-up revealed

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: #1 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.

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 from Yamaha – 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 admitted 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: 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.

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.

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 - Having secured a MotoGP move even before he began his third and final Moto2 campaign, Aldeguer has finally been placed at Gresini by Ducati. 

VR46 Ducati

Rider 1: Fabio di Giannantonio - The Italian will become a factory rider next year after signing a contract directly with Ducati. Apart from Bagnaia and Marquez, he will be the only rider on the grid to get his hands on the factory-spec GP25 bike next year.

Rider 2:  Franco Morbidelli  - Morbidelli has found a reprieve at his mentor's Valentino Rossi's team as staying on with Pramac would have meant renewing his relationship with Yamaha.

Trackhouse Racing

Rider 1: #25 Raul Fernandez - After some impressive results in the first part of the season on an year-old Aprilia, Raul Fernandez has secured a new contract with Trackhouse that includes the 2025 season.

Rider 2: Ai Ogura - Trackhouse has placed its faith in Moto2 frontrunner Ai Ogura, who is parting ways with long-time backer Honda in order to join the Aprilia fold.

Tech3 GasGas

Rider 1: Maverick Vinales - Maverick Vinales will have an opportunity to win on four different bikes in MotoGP as he leaves Aprilia to join Tech3, which will receive identical bikes to KTM next year.

Rider 2: Enea Bastianini - Having been dropped by Ducati, Bastianini will join a new home at Tech3 as part of an all-new line-up.
