The 2025 MotoGP World Championship is well and truly on. The two-wheel speed extravaganza is giving spectators lots to savour, even as riders continue their quest to stretch the limits. (More Motorsport News)
While the thrills continue, let us take a look at what's different and new this season:
With the 2027 MotoGP World Championship promising a reset of the regulation, there are minimal changes in 2025. That means there바카라™s an engine freeze in place, so the leading constructors cannot develop their powerplants.
That could suit the all-conquering Ducatis and the KTM unit is also strong. The big beneficiaries of the engine freeze might be Yamaha and Honda. The two giants have found themselves propping up the championships for the past seasons, but are exempt from the engine freeze. The big question is how much resources the Japanese manufacturers will commit to refining machinery that will be largely obsolete by 2027.
Meanwhile, Fermin Aldeguer takes over Marc Marquez바카라™s half of the Gresini garage where he is teamed with 2019 Moto2 World Champion Alex Marquez. The 19-year-old turned heads in the MotoGP paddock with his flourish of four victories and six podiums in the final six Moto2 races of 2023.
In 2024, Ai Ogura became the first Japanese rider to become world champion in 15 years. And as reigning Moto2 champ, Ogura makes the step up to Trackhouse where he'll be in good hands working with team boss Davide Brivio, who most recently took Suzuki to the top as well as masterminding Yamaha바카라™s glory years with Valentino Rossi.
Over at LCR, Lucio Cecchinello will be steering the career of the first Thai rider in the elite level as Somkiat Chantra replaces Takaaki Nakagami at LCR, joining Johann Zarco.
