The countdown to MotoGP 2025 has officially begun as the iconic Sepang International Circuit (SIC) is gearing up to host the much-anticipated MotoGP pre-season test from February 5th to 7th, 2025.
This announcement is further reinforced by the arrival of equipment and machinery, as seen in the latest teasers from the circuit, showcasing crates labelled for Malaysia’s first big MotoGP event of the year.
The Petronas-sponsored SIC remains a cornerstone of MotoGP testing due to its challenging layout, tropical climate, and state-of-the-art facilities. Teams will use this opportunity to fine-tune their bikes for the upcoming season while riders acclimate to their machines in real-world conditions after months of development behind the scenes.
Big Names, Big Debuts
This year’s Sepang pre-season test promises a spectacle like never before, featuring some exciting changes to the MotoGP grid. Fans will witness Marc Marquez in fully official Ducati red for the very first time, marking his highly anticipated debut with the factory Ducati Lenovo Team. Sharing the garage with reigning MotoGP champion Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia, this partnership will undoubtedly draw attention as two of the grid’s most dominant riders begin working together.
Adding to the excitement, Ai Ogura will make his MotoGP debut with the Trackhouse Racing Team. After an impressive stint in Moto2, the Japanese prodigy’s transition to the premier class is one to watch, as he aims to establish himself among the sport’s elite.
Meanwhile, the 2024 MotoGP World Champion Jorge Martin embarks on a new chapter with Aprilia together with the coveted #1. Fresh off his championship-winning season, Martin is expected to bring a wealth of confidence and momentum to his new team.
A Crucial Test for Teams and Riders
Pre-season tests like these play a pivotal role in shaping the competitive landscape of the upcoming season. With brand-new machinery, refined aerodynamics, and cutting-edge electronics on display, fans can expect to see the latest innovations in MotoGP technology. For teams, it’s the perfect chance to evaluate race setups and gather crucial data ahead of the season opener.
The MotoGP pre-season test in February is a prelude to the full-throttle excitement that fans can expect when the championship returns to Sepang later in the year for the Malaysian GP. Until then, all eyes are on this testing event, where the stage for the 2025 MotoGP season will be set.
