The Race MotoGP Podcast looks at which riders are already under contract pressure for 2025 even before the start of the 2024 campaign
Several MotoGP riders are facing significant challenges as they head into the final pre-season test in Qatar next week. These issues will have implications not only for the upcoming Qatar Grand Prix but also for the 2024 season due to the highly unpredictable rider market this year. The pressure on riders is exacerbated by the early moves teams are making for their 2025 line-ups, especially considering that the majority of riders on the grid do not have contracts secured for next season. The uncertainty surrounding the 2025 season influences all aspects of MotoGP, as seen in even Honda’s recent launch of a new livery raising questions about Marc Marquez’s future with the team. Speaking of Marquez, he will be a special guest on the upcoming episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast, where he will participate in an exclusive interview and answer selected questions from listeners. To submit questions for Marquez, email podcasts@the-race.com and tune in to the podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify for the full interview.
