An overview of the contract statuses for all MotoGP racers heading into the 2025 season

Here is the list of MotoGP riders for the 2025 season, along with the details of each rider's contract status.

Ducati acted quickly to secure a long-term contract with their standout performer, Francesco Bagnaia.

The uncertainty surrounding his partner for the 2025 season was a major focus in

Marc Marquez is poised to take on the position dressed in red, following a surprising reversal by Ducati, who had originally assured Jorge Martin of the role.

In 2025, Ducati plans to promote young Moto2 rider Fermin Aldeguer to the top tier of motorcycle racing. The specific team he will join has not yet been announced. However, Aldeguer expects to receive a bike equipped with the latest specifications.

Decisions need to be made about the future of Ducati's satellite teams. Both VR46 and Pramac have contracts that expire at the end of 2024, and they must determine whether to renew their agreements or part ways.

KTM has secured Brad Binder with a contract extension that will keep him with the team until 2026.

Pedro Acosta is set to transfer from Tech3 GASGAS to the main factory team.

Enea Bastianini is anticipated to be riding a KTM motorcycle in the year 2025.

This implies that Jack Miller and Augusto Fernandez, who is Acosta's teammate at Tech3 GASGAS, need to be cautious about their future prospects.

Aprilia rider Aleix Espargaro is set to retire by the close of 2024.

Jorge Martin is set to take over his close friend Espargaro's bike following his unsuccessful bid at Ducati.

Aprilia's additional riders, Maverick Vinales along with Trackhouse's Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez, will also see their contracts conclude after the 2024 season.

This allows Aprilia to make significant choices if they want to.

The rebranding of the US-supported Trackhouse might also involve considering an American racer, like Moto2 competitor Joe Roberts.

Yamaha has secured a crucial component of the 2025 rider lineup by signing Fabio Quartararo to a lengthy contract, establishing him as the highest-earning MotoGP rider.

Yamaha aims to introduce a satellite team next year, which would result in doubling the number of their bikes on the track. Both VR46 and Pramac have been mentioned as potential partners.

Former MotoGP racer Andrea Iannone, who is now competing in the World Superbike Championship after serving a four-year suspension, has emerged as an unexpected contender.

Honda

Luca Marini secured a long-term deal to step in for Marc Marquez.

Johann Zarco has secured a contract with LCR through the end of 2025.

Repsol's Joan Mir and LCR's Takaaki Nakagami, the team's other two riders, currently do not have contracts.

However, Honda understands that their motorcycle won't be very appealing until they can demonstrate its competitiveness.

However, the company is a dominant force in MotoGP and might still lure seasoned riders, just as they did with Marini and Zarco.
