Which Moto2 riders could still claim a last-gasp MotoGP seat next year?
Talented riders from Moto2 are in the mix to land a 2025 MotoGP bik༺e

Several Moto2 riders are still in the mix to land one of the remaining eight vacant MotoGP bikes for next year.
The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up has🧸 almost taken shape but some crucial decisions are still to be made.
This group 💧of talented Moto2 riders could get the nod ahead of more experienced riders…
Sergio Garcia
The current�ꦏ� Moto2 championship leader has been mentioned as an option for Pramac Yamaha.
Now aged 21, he finished 15th in his rookie Moto2 year, last season. But this year he has s🦩hone.
Fabio Quartararo said about Yamaha’s new satellite team: “I think [Sergioꦛ] Garcia, [Alonso] Lopez are names that are really꧅ fast in Moto2.
“And I𝐆 think they can earn their🌊 place into a team like Pramac that at the end will not really be a satellite team, just an extension of a factory [team].”
However, leading the pack at the summer break stage, Garcia has not been linked to ꦚa MotoGP move as strongly as some others.
Alonso Lopez
As well as being 🐻name-checked by Quartararo, Lopez has also been public❀ly mentioned by the Yamaha boss.
Managing director Lin Jarvis was quizzed about promoꦫting Lopez from Moto2 into the new Pramac t🦂eam.
"Who knows,” he responded to .
“We said a couple of years ago that he is a rider we aไre interested in.
“We are following his career, when the right time comes for hi💝m to move up to the premier class we can think about it.
“Now we have just signed the contract with Pramac, we th♋ink to the young Moto2 riders for the future.
“But I don't k♓🐓now if this is the right time to take them."
Lopez, aged 22, is🎃 currently fifth in the Moto2 standings.
Ai Ogura
Ai Ogura 𓂃has been linked to a step up to a Honda MotoGP seat for several years.
But he is now set to unexpected sign ♌for Trackhouse Aprilia in MotoGP n♍ext year, report.
It would mean severing ties with Honda.
Weeks ago in Assen, TNT Sports’ Moto🧸GP pundits suggested that Ogura might not want to step into MotoG🍒P aboard a misfiring Honda.
“He was adamant,” Neil Hodgson said. “I pressed him on it. He said𒁏 ‘I won’𝔍t go unless I win the Moto2 championship’.”
Sylvain Guintoli added: “He ꦡwill get the ride at some point. It’s better to stay in Moto2 and win the ꧃championship.”
Hodgson said: “I guess he’s hoping that if he waits another year, there’s a chance of improving the bikeﷺ.”
Guintoli: “Or a coupleꦆ of years for a rule change. But that’s a long time.”
Instead✱, it now seems Ogura will surpri𒈔singly land on a satellite Aprilia.
Joe Roberts
The American, Joe Roberts, has been strongly linked to Trackhouse Aprilia for 202🐷5.
But that opportunity will vanish iܫf they do sign Ogꦦura.
The rebranding of Trackhouse th💞is year makes them the only US-owned MotoGP team.
To grow their presence furﷺther, they might have looked to acquire a standout American talent.
Roberts’ manager John Hopkins said at Assen: “We are speaking to a couple of team🔥s 🥀right now.
“There are a couple of teams interested in Joe.
“One in particular, literally at lunch [on Friday], that 😼went extremely well.”
Trackhouse team boss Davide Brivio insist♍ed Trackhouse’s priority was to re-sign Raul Fernandez and Miguel Oliveira.
Fernandez is now contracted for 2025 but Oliveira, according to Sky Italia, will ins𒐪tead join Pramac Yamaha.
Brivio said about looking to Robertꦛs: “This could be Plan B or Plan C, looking at other riders in case we can’t find a good agreement with Miguel.
“Everybody knowsꦐ, more or less, the market is quite clear. There is one exper♒t rider available otherwise you have to go for a rookie.”
Earlier this week, Roberts was in action at a track day at Laguna Seca ridin🌠g alongside Apꦰrilia ambassador Max Biaggi.
But, after news of Ogura join😼ing Trackhouse broke on Friday, it seems Roberts will be overlooked for♛ MotoGP in 2025.
Tony Arbolino
Tony Arbolino is largely💯 h🐈aving a season to forget in Moto2, yet he has still been mentioned for a MotoGP move.
He finished second in Moto2 last year but is currently languishing in✃ 1🃏3th.
But Sky Italia, who have reported that Miguel Oliveira will swap Trackhouse Aprilia for Pramac Yamaha, insist that Arbolino is also in the mi𝔉x to join Oliveir🀅a.
He “could have some chance” if he impresses at the next few rouไnds, even though so many of his Moto2 rivals are having a better overall season, Sky report.
Celestino Vietti
Celestino Vietti’s only apparent hope would be a ꧃step up into the VR46 MotoGP squad.
He is a VR46 Academy graduate and Valentino Rossi’s premier class team will want toꦬ maintain some preseꦛnce from the academy next year.
After losing L♈uca Marini for this year, they will also lose Marco Bezzecchi (to Aprilia) in 2025.
VR46 are expected to keep Fabio di Giannantonio, possibly on factory-spec 🐻machinery.
The spa🍎ce next to 𝄹Di Giannantonio could be up for grabs and Vietti could be a contender.
Vietti’s problem? Fran💫co Morbi꧙delli also needs a new MotoGP seat next year, and is also a VR46 disciple.
Fermin Aldeguer
We know that Aldeguer is guaranteed to be a MotoGP ro💧okie next season.
He has signed a contract with Ducati although it is still unclear which team he will be assigned𝓰 to.
When Aldeguer penned his♉ terms with Ducati, he openly spoke about joining Pramac on a fact༒ory-spec bike.
But Pramac have left for Yamaha meaning Aldeguer must be placed w🦄ith either VR46 or Gresini.
Gresini appear t𝄹o be the likelier landing spot, 🦂alongside Alex Marquez.
Aldeguer’s manager Hector Faubel told : “By contract, the first year he can ride a Desmosedici GP24 or a G﷽P25. There, Ducati will decide.
“The 𒅌second year he will t꧑ake the GP26 no matter what.”
Aldeguer, aged 19, is currently fourth in the M✤oto2 standings.
