Coming into 2024, only three riders had contracts in their back pockets which guaranteed them a place on the 2025 grid.
That number has now jumped to six with the latest announcement that Fabio Quartararo has signed on with Yamaha for two more years.
Here is how the grid is shaping up for the 2025 season.
Rider 1: #1 Francesco Bagnaia – The reigning double world champion signed a new two-year contract with Ducati ahead of the 2024 campaign, taking him to the end of 2026.
Rider 2: TBC
Ducati has a number of options available to it for its second factory team seat, with Pramac’s Jorge Martin, Gresini’s Marc Marquez and current rider Enea Bastianini the frontrunners.
