Anticipated MotoGP Rider Shakeups for 2025: Bastianini to Tech3 KTM, Miller to Honda, and More

Forecasting the next major rider transfers for the 2025 MotoGP season

Following the recent transitions of Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez, we evaluate the potential next four significant moves that might shape the 2025 MotoGP lineup.

Enea Bastianini – Tech3 KTM

In another surprising turn of events, Enea Bastianini is expected to depart from Ducati.

While Pramac may offer a promising opportunity with the top bike on the circuit, Bastianini appears poised to bring his skills to KTM, joining the GASGAS Tech3 squad.

Sky Italia once more verified that Bastianini will be provided with a full factory bike, matching the equipment given to Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder.

Bastianini began the 2025 season on a high note, but with Marquez performing exceptionally well and securing superior results on the GP23, opting for the eight-time world champion is an obvious choice.

KTM hasn't maintained the level of consistency anticipated this season. Still, there is optimism for Bastianini, as Acosta has frequently demonstrated the RC16's potential with several podium places.

Jack Miller Joining Honda

As Joan Mir considers retiring, there is a vacant spot at Repsol Honda, and Jack Miller might be the one to fill it.

It seems that Miller is definitely leaving KTM and will be searching for a different manufacturer.

The Australian player has faced a challenging 2024 season, and his confidence appears to have taken a significant hit

However, transitioning to Honda and attempting to revive the Japanese brand's competitive edge might be the kind of challenge that fits Miller well.

Joe Roberts to Join Trackhouse

Joe Roberts, who recently secured victory in the Moto2 race at Mugello, appears to be on the verge of re-establishing America's representation in the premier tier of grand prix racing.

Miguel Oliveira has faced challenges with the RS-GP24 bike and might leave Aprilia once the season concludes.

Roberts, currently ranked second behind Sergio Garcia in the standings, has become a strong candidate for an Aprilia ride thanks to his impressive speed and consistency in the 2024 season.

Andrea Iannone Returns to MotoGP with Ducati

It's a bit of a bold prediction, but Andrea Iannone's name has already been mentioned in MotoGP talks this season.

Iannone has acknowledged that he has received interest from MotoGP. With possible spots opening up at Pramac and Gresini, Iannone might unexpectedly make a remarkable comeback.

Iannone might join Gresini Ducati to take Marquez's place, providing the team with an Italian racer.

Pramac might be another alternative based on Franco Morbidelli's situation, but our forecast places Iannone with Gresini.
