MotoGP 2025 Discussion Thread *Warning: Spoilers allowed*

[Lightcycle]

If you don't want race results spoiled, please wait until you catch up with the latest races before opening this thread!

Let's discuss the 2025 season here.

Who's your pick to win the championship?
Will Ducati dominate again, despite opting to run the old 2024 engine for their factory team?
Will Yamaha and Quatararo continue to make inroads after their strong showing at the end of last season?
Is there any hope for Honda this year?
What will development look like for KTM with its coffers empty due to disastrous financial mismanagement?
Will Jorge Martin be able to defend the #1 plate without the help of a Desmosedici beneath him?
Will Marquez and Bagnaia trip each other up at the front, leaving room for a dark horse contender to upset all expectations?

Dumb question. What are the options to watch MotGP in Canada? I don't have any tv/cable subscription.

Is videopass the only option? I didn't want to pay for it as I find it stupid expensive when compared it to the F1 TV costs. However, this year I got a videopass subscription as Valentine's gift. I think my wife got tired of me saying I would love to watch Pecco and JM battling between them

Ducati's season to lose yet again in all form of standings. Peco and Marc fireworks will make it interesting, no wall needed unless it's for clickbait.

Hope Maverick get's a win on that KTM then move to Honda rinse repeat for GOAT status lol

Yamaha cracking top 3 in constructors, top 5 rider and team standings would be awesome.

Your pretty much set if you have the videopass @PacoT, what an awesome gift! I can justify the price if it included WSBK. It used to be aired via the BBC on Bell/Rogers packages before streaming on demand. People still pay for cable/tv??

Install Kodi build called Diggs Zenon (most popular) on your Firestick and you can watch ANYTHING you wish

Marc Marquez is your new 2025 champion!

But I am all in on underdog Martinator, or any other Spanish rider as I just enjoy utilizing my newly acquired mediocre spanish listening to their podcasts and interviews on European channels

Jorge Martin was the rider I was cheering for last year. But his nasty faceplant was not a good start to the 2025 season. These guys are risking life and limb. GWS!

Yeah, totally, these guys have to push to such limits borderline risking own life. I love and watch endurance (human powered) sports and you feel the pain when you push hard but nobody is risking their lifes and broken bones at any time there. On the other hand that’s the main reason makes this racing so popular in the first place (plus cool tech).. It’s like watching NASCAR waiting for a massive pile up..

And on this note one thing MM has to do to win championship is to crash less then Pecco

The option I use is REV TV (channel 1414) on Bell Fibe $4/ month. Also available on Rogers 540

Fine for the casual viewer like me as it only shows the Sprint and the race but no qualifying or practice.

Also includes WSBK and lots of car racing including IMSA

Marc Marquez is your new 2025 champion!

I think so as well.

Would be nice to see Pecco win it again, but MM is on another level. The way he was riding that GP23 last year...

Interested to see how Martin does on the Ape, and how much of his performance last year was his talent or Ducati engineering? Kinda leaning towards the latter. I think Quatararo is actually the better rider over JM, and Yamaha knows it too, seeing how they are moving heaven and earth to keep him on the team.

Also now when my most favorite rider Aleix moved to Honda testing team I kind of transitioned to following Honda as well watching his socials and YT vlog. He says new bike feels great so I might be cheering for underdog Honda and Joan as well. I watch casually so have no idea how much chances Honda actually have to get back on top..

I’d like to see MM do well and complete a season without (many) crashes.
I’ve seen Ape blaming the tires but I really hope they figure it out and compete. I always look at them like I did Suzuki (underdogs).
Loving the new colours on the Hondas.
Dislike Fabio so as much as I’d like to see Yamaha improving I hope they all do except him.
Second dislike is that they have every rider profile posing like they’re arms-crossed toughies with angry faces (I don’t think they do that with jockeys in horse racing and these guys are about the same size).
