2025 Valencia MotoGP test: LIVE UPDATES!

Live updates from the 2025 post-season Valencia test

Preparations for the 2026 MotoGP season begin on Tuesday 18 November with the one-day Valencia test. 

With the curtain coming down on the 2025 MotoGP season last Sunday at the Valencia Grand Prix, the paddock has remained at the venue near Cheste for a day of testing. 

The traditional post-season test at Valencia effectively acts as the first day of the new campaign, with riders debuting for the teams they will race with in 2026. 

The highlight of this year's Valencia test is the public debut of World Superbbike star Toprak Razgatlioglu, who will race for the Pramac Yamaha squad next season. 

The three-time World Superbike champion tested for Yamaha last week in a private outing at Aragon. 

Yamaha will also give its race riders their second opportunity to test the V4, following a first outing at the post-race Misano test in September.

Reigning Moto2 world champion Diogo Moreira will also make his MotoGP debut on Tuesday with the LCR Honda squad. The Brazilian penned a three-year deal with HRC this summer, and joins the MotoGP grid as one of the paddock's hottest prospects. 

2025 Valencia MotoGP test schedule:

9:00am BST - 12:00pm BST - Session 1

12:20pm BST - 4pm BST - Session 2

Razgatlioglu has fired in an impressive lap on the Yamaha V4. He's up to 18th with a 1m30.667s. That's just 1.267s off the pace, which is being set by the rider who won the grand prix at Valencia last weekend. 

15:09

Jorge Martin has done some laps on the new Aprilia aero, but not the rear update that Bezzecchi has been running. 

15:06

Slightly different aero on one of Pecco Bagnaia's Ducati's today. Looks like Alex Marquez has been testing the same one. 

Bagnaia is currently fourth with just under 90 minutes of the test to go.

Bezzecchi has gone top on that new rear aero with a 1m29.400s. The RS-GP looking just as strong as it ended 2025. Good early signs for the Italian marque.

14:57

A quick look at the speed traps shows Yamaha down at the bottom on 311.1km/h. 

14:38

A look at that new rear aero on the Aprilia of Bezzecchi. As you can just about see, it curves over the tail unit rather than stick up like conventional wings.

Jorge Martin has gone back to the No.89 he used prior to the 2025 season. His original number, 88, is now free to use with Miguel Oliveira going to World Superbikes. But looks like Martin has made his choice for next year already.

Fermin Aldeguer is trying the full GP25 right now, which will provide some good feedback for Ducati with regards to Pecco Bagnaia's problems. 

 

13:57

Pedro Acosta has gone for a flier and posts a 1m29.591s to take over at the top of the standings ahead of Bezzecchi, Bagnaia, Quartararo and Vinales. 

13:53

Di Giannantonio has gotten his bike back to the VR46 garage to begin the diagnosis.

13:49
Mechanical - Fabio Di Giannantonio

Fabio Di Giannantonio has stopped going through Q1 with an issue. 

13:47

Bezzecchi, on the new Aprilia aero, has gone fastest with a 1m29.684s. 

13:44

Razgatlioglu has gone back out now too.

13:43

Diogo Moreira has headed back out on the Honda. He's done 16 laps so far.

13:41

We've only got Vinales and Vietti on circuit at the moment. 

Conditions are probably at their absolute best for the day, so I can't imagine the track will be quiet for long.

13:40

We're at the hammer things on the bike stage of adaptation for Toprak this afternoon!

Razgatlioglu currently debriefing in his Pramac box with Fonsi Nieto, Alberto Giribuola and Andrea Dovizioso. 

That's a pretty damn good crew around him for this test!

13:32

Alex Rins' earlier issue was on the inline-four Yamaha. He's out there on the V4 again, as is Quartararo.
