There are several riders at the end of their contracts in MotoGP, which could open up the market for the next season. According to Livio Suppo, the eight riders who will be riding Ducati bikes will want to continue with the Borgo Panigale manufacturer, which is the benchmark, but he believes that others will also demonstrate their arguments.
The Italian told the championship’s official website: ‘All Ducati riders have their contracts ending this year, so I assume the market will start soon. Their bike is the best, so all the riders on a Ducati right now will want to stay on a Ducati‘.
However, Suppo does not rule out that other manufacturers will be attractive for 2025, including the Japanese: ‘KTM and Aprilia will continue their growth, and Yamaha and Honda having major concessions should give them greater potential. We have already seen in Valencia that Honda took a step forward. If they use the concessions wisely, they will shorten the distance in the middle of the season by a lot. Then, the market will be completely different‘.
