Asked riders today about having the first MotoGP at the same venue as the last test. Some agreed that it would be better for 'the show' to be elsewhere (more of a wildcard element with settings and references etc on the newish bikes). But, as ever, it becomes a cost thing.

That was a very Ai Ogura debut MotoGP race performance: high standards, coolness, consistency. The natural 'unflappableness' could be a big asset for the Japanese this season

So many laps and drama still to come in 2025 MotoGP but this could be a campaign of admiration instead of all-out action. Marc Marquez has rolled our early and the gate has been unbolted. How soon can he set the new standard and how long will everybody else be searching for catch-up gains?

First MotoGP session done. Predictably #93 top but Trackhouse's Davide Brivio can perhaps feel a little smug with Ai Ogura showing his adaptation. 6th fastest and impressive from the Japanese (although Trackhouse could have signed Jack Miller as well and he was P4 on the Yamaha!)

Incredible. Second visit for Martin to the Dexeus hospital in Barcelona after yet another injury. Rains and pours etc. This one sounds pretty nasty as well. MotoGP 2025 starts without its reigning champion this weekend

An underwhelming day of MotoGP testing in Thailand? Progress from Aprilia perhaps but Ducati still don't have a GP24-topper with the full 25 version. Yamaha had a front end pickle with tyre choice (at least #20 did) and KTM remain a mystery. Tomorrow is about set-up for the Grand Prix.

Interesting numbers from Gresini. Earned media value (basically, what it would have cost to buy the same amount of coverage) of €445 million. Which is a lot. And you have to put a large part of that down to the rider that just left the garage...

Second set of surgical procedures on the same area of the body for Diggia but both rider and team expect him to be on the grid for the MotoGP season opener. The Italian will have to hope that the choices made by Marquez and Bagnaia for the GP25 will suit his wishes for the first phase of the year

Watching the MotoGP 2025 Launch and it’s been really quite impressive. Good presentation standards, very enthusiastic public (and quite a lot of them in Bangkok) and decent TV editing so it doesn’t feel that repetitive. The series is making steps forward to be more accessible.

All the Alex Marquez hype might need calming. Good rider, decent guy, great bike for 2025 (the title-winning GP24) but AM73 has always been quick and a fan of Sepang and his brother described the riding conditions on the final day as "unreal".

The worst possible start to 2025 MotoGP for the world champion. That's also two Aprilia riders returning to Europe for surgery after less than one day of action at the Sepang test. Just a new rider and a rookie (although Ogura has been impressive) left to work with the RSGP in Malaysia

The dark side of moto hits for Jett Lawrence with ACL surgery and effectively a year pause in his career. Everything seemed fairytale as a Pro for a remarkable racer until this point but this injury confirmation caps a tough spell where he has also been allegedly duped by his agent.
