The 2025 MotoE World Championship is about to take its final bow — and if this is truly the last round for a while, it could not have lined itself up any better.

Portimão will decide everything.

The Algarve circuit is already a Spanish-sized rollercoaster. Blind crests, deep drops, bravery rewarded instantly. It fits MotoE’s identity perfectly. And into this final stage, 2025 arrives with seven riders still able to walk away as World Champions.

You do not get title fights like this in any other class right now.

The tension begins with Alessandro Zaccone (Aruba Cloud MotoE Team), who reclaimed command thanks to his Race 1 win last time out. But he only leads by five points from Mattia Casadei (LCR E-Team), who remains extremely dangerous here: Casadei won Portimão in 2024 and may actually be the better reference at this specific track.

Behind them, Matteo Ferrari (Felo Gresini) and Lorenzo Baldassarri (Dynavolt Intact GP) are tied on points. Ferrari has five podiums in eight starts and is ending the year on a sharp upward curve. Baldassarri had his worst weekend of his rookie season at the worst possible moment but on pure speed he is still a threat.

The twist is that the rider in fifth, Eric Granado, might actually be the most dangerous weapon in this equation. The Brazilian has 13 MotoE victories (the same tally as Casadei and Ferrari) and he arrives at Portimão with late-season momentum that is genuine and visible. If the title ends up going through a “win it on the road” scenario, he is the one you don’t want behind you with five laps to go.

Nicholas Spinelli and Andrea Mantovani complete the seven who remain mathematically alive. Spinelli has real pace here; he won at Portimão in 2024. Mantovani simply refuses to drop off. Both have enough firepower to decide who gets to call themselves champion.

And then, the shadows.

Below them: Kevin Zannoni, Jordi Torres, current champion Hector Garzó, and Oscar Gutierrez. All podium finishers this year. Then riders like Jacopo Hosciuc, Tibor Erik Varga and the newly-crowned WorldWCR Champion Maria Herrera — any one of them could trip up a title contender just by fighting for a top six on merit, and that small moment could swing the championship.

This is what makes this finale so volatile.
