The teams of MotoGP Their calendar of performances is ready, which is concentrated in between January 14 and February 8 before the official presentation of the championship takes place on February 9 with an event aimed at fans at Bangkok. And some of those performances will be very painful.
Between December 1 and January 31, full-time riders and their teams are prohibited from testing MotoGP bikes, so the vacation ends in just twenty days. Before the shakedown at Sepang for testers, rookies and brand drivers with ‘full’ concessions will reactivate the activity on January 31, seven of the teams will make their presentations in accordance with a format already established in other years.
The very first team was the American team Trackhouse, Aprilia customer, that in his barracks Charlotte (North Carolina) will present the 2025 colors that will be defended by Raúl Fernández and the Moto2 world champion Ai Ogura.
After two days, it will be back Aprilia Racing which this year completely changes its lineup after signing the defending champion Jorge Martin and on Italian Marco Bezzecchi. On January 16 in Milan, at the Sky studios, one of the great secrets will be revealed, the number that Jorge Martín will wear in 2025. He has two options, his usual 89 or the number 1 that he won last year on the track and only only the champion can wear the title. The morbidity is reinforced by the fact that he won the ride for Ducati and will take it to the ‘enemy’ Aprilia.
Once Aprilia meets its commercial commitments it will be the turn of the three Ducati squads. Gresini Racing will lead again on January 18 at the emblematic Autódromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, the reference circuit of the Faenza team. Again an all Spanish lineup with Àlex Márquez and Fermín Aldeguer.
Two days later, on January 20, their traditional presentation ceremony for their ‘Campioni in pista’ will be held the official team Ducati Lenovo in the winter resort of Madonna di Campiglio. The main event in front of the press will be around 10 am in PalaCampiglio and the same afternoon (5 pm) in Piazza Sissi there will be a presentation in front of the fans. This is the first time that eight-time world champion Marc Márquez will speak and reveal his new colors as official Ducati rider in the most powerful duo in the championship that he will form with three-time champion Pecco Bagnaia.
Ducati’s new second most important team, the Pertamina Enduro VR46which this year will have in its box the third official motorcycle for Fabio di Giannantonio, will make its presentation in the country of its ‘title’ sponsor, Indonesia, on January 25 in Jakarta (12:30 pm in Spain) where Franky Morbidelli will also debut in the colors of the team owned by Valentino Rossi.
The Sepang circuit was the setting chosen for the online presentations of both Red Bull KTM with Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder and the Red Bull KTM Tech3 of Maverick Viñales and Enea Bastianini (January 30) the day before the Shakedown.
A day later, also in Malaysia, but on the Wet Deck of the W Hotel in Kuala Lumpur it was the turn of the two Yamaha teams, the Monster Energy Yamaha of Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins and their new partner Prima Pramac with Miguel Oliveira and Jack Miller. Their performance was the night after the first of three days of Shakedown.
Honda, separated from its partner of the past 30 years Repsol, will repeat its presentation in Indonesia, specifically in Jakarta, another of the great unknowns to be solved in terms of decorations. It will be February 1st when Joan Mir and Luca Marini debut their specific colors as Honda HRC MotoGP.
