MotoGP Awards 2025 in Valencia: Champions Close Record Season

A historic year ends with champions crowned, emotional comebacks celebrated, and a surprise performance by Daddy Yankee at Circuit Ricardo Tormo.

The 2025 MotoGP Awards drew the season to a spectacular close on Sunday night at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, marking the first time the ceremony was celebrated trackside. Riders, teams, officials, and fans witnessed an unforgettable evening that honoured the standout performers of a record-breaking year.

All of this season’s Champions stepped onto the grand stage to receive their hard-earned medals, but one moment stood out above the rest: Marc Marquez of the Ducati Lenovo Team celebrated what many are calling one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history. The eight-time World Champion proudly lifted the redesigned Tower of Champions, marking another iconic chapter in his legacy.

The ceremony also recognised the top three finishers across all categories, MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3, with Brazil’s Diogo Moreira making history as the nation’s first-ever World Champion by securing the Moto2 title. Rising stars and rookies from each class were also given the spotlight for their breakthrough seasons.

Constructors and team champions were honoured as well, further highlighting the depth of talent and competition that defined the 2025 campaign. With Round 22 wrapped up, MotoGP closed its most competitive season yet in front of a packed audience that filled the Valencia night with energy and celebration.

The evening ended on a high note as global music star Daddy Yankee stepped onto the stage for a special performance, giving fans one final thrill before attention shifts to the 2026 season  set to begin with the Valencia Test on Tuesday.
