Welcome to the second episode of what we call "Season Preview Season", as the trio of Dre, Cam and RJ Preview the 2025 MotoGP Season!
We talk about the new, larger-than-ever calendar, the incoming engine freeze, and Simon Crafar's new role as Chief Steward before getting into the state of all five factories within the sport. First up - the Japanese brands of Honda and Yamaha and their separate approaches to getting back up the grid. There's genuine optimism in their respective camps after upgrades appear to make them look closer to the top, but what's a realistic expectation for Quartararo, Zarco, Mir and company?
There's a deep dive into KTM's continued struggles. They're seemingly in the clear as the Austrian courts agreed to their bailout terms, but what does mean for a gagged MotoGP team? And is Pedro Acosta secure in his future given his "phenom" status? Can Aprilia be a better second after years of spinning its wheels, and with its new World Champion Jorge Martin starting the year in a hospital bed?
And finally, Ducati, who had ditched a new engine would be a disaster in any other context. But this is Ducati, who looks virtually unstoppable at the moment. Is Bagnaia out to reclaim the title? Can he overcome his greatest opponent yet? Is Marquez set to tie Rossi's 7 Premier Class titles? All that and more on Motorsport101!
