A career full of controversy, chaos, talent, and raw honesty — Andrea Iannone has revisited the most unbelievable moment of his MotoGP life: the night before his only premier-class victory.

🗣️ “The night before I had s*x until 5 a.m.”

Iannone recalls Austria 2016 not for beating giants like Dovizioso, Lorenzo, Rossi, Márquez, Viñales, or Pedrosa, but for what happened off the track. After arriving at the circuit with barely any sleep, he topped warm-up and then delivered Ducati’s first MotoGP victory since 2010 — a true “Maniac” weekend.

🗣️ “I remember that time… I went to bed at five in the morning, woke up, went to the circuit, set the fastest time in warm-up, and then won the race.”

In his GPone interview, he opened up about far more than just wild nights. He revisited the harshest chapters of his career — from his doping ban to the sacrifices of his early racing years.

🗣️ “My father had mortgaged the house; we had money only for the trip there. That teaches you responsibility.”

With his WSBK seat gone for 2026 and no strong offers on the table, Iannone says he will only return under conditions worthy of his potential.

🗣️ “I’m no longer willing to accept compromises. If I can fight for the top five, perfect. If not, it’s pointless.”

And on the Rossi-Márquez clash, he didn’t hold back.

🗣️ “What happened tarnished his reputation. Marc had that habit — he’d get alongside you and knock you out.”

Love him or hate him, Andrea Iannone remains one of MotoGP’s most unapologetically raw personalities — still unpredictable, still outspoken, still the “Maniac.”

A new generation steps into the fire — and Diogo Moreira’s first taste of MotoGP power left him shocked to the core.
His debut laps on the RC213V weren’t just fast… they were overwhelming.

🗣️ “Lucio, I s**t in my pants… f**k, the bike is so, so, so powerful.” — Diogo Moreira, after first riding a MotoGP bike

The 2025 Moto2 World Champion jumped onto the RC213V at Valencia, completing 57 intense laps and instantly feeling the brutal difference between Moto2 and the premier class. The speed. The acceleration. The braking. Everything hit him at once.

LCR boss Lucio Cecchinello revealed the moment with a smile — a mix of shock, pride, and confirmation that Honda’s rookie for 2026 truly understands the magnitude of the MotoGP step.

Moreira may be raw, but Cecchinello believes he has every ingredient needed to succeed: talent, adaptability, and now… a real taste of MotoGP horsepower.

BMW’s position on entering MotoGP remains uncertain as CEO Markus Flasch questions the financial reality of the championship.

🗣️ “The entire sector is entering a crisis, and I’m surprised at how many of our competitors can afford certain things.”

Flasch says BMW’s previous comments created the wrong expectations about joining MotoGP. While BMW studied the possibility, he insists the decision must make financial sense — and right now, the motorcycle industry’s situation makes a massive new project difficult to justify.

🗣️ “We decide what we do and where we invest our money… the decision originates with us.”

Despite his personal interest in expanding BMW’s racing program, Flasch notes that even a strong company must be cautious. He indirectly points at rivals like KTM, whose financial struggles contrast with their continued heavy MotoGP spending.

🗣️ “Right now we’re in no hurry to decide… we’ve just become WorldSBK champions again.”

BMW remains focused on WorldSBK, especially after winning another title with Toprak Razgatlioglu — ironically just as the Turkish star prepares to move into MotoGP with another manufacturer.

✨ A Historic First in MotoGP — Brothers Finish as Champion & Runner-Up!

For the first time in the history of the MotoGP World Championship, two brothers stand at the very top of the final standings:

An unprecedented achievement — the Márquez family has written a new chapter in MotoGP history. Two brothers, two different journeys, one unforgettable season.

25/11/2025

🏁 After his strongest MotoGP season yet, Álex Márquez opens up about victories, rivalry, superstition… and the fear of accidentally knocking Marc off the bike.

🗣️ “Better than ever and better than anyone expected, and I include myself in that.”
Álex looks back on a 2025 season full of breakthroughs—multiple wins, consistent podiums, and a massive leap in performance with Gresini.

🗣️ “Winning at Jerez is special… it’s the only place where I’ve felt the crowds on the bike. I cried there.”
His home victory at the “cathedral of motorcycling” remains one of the most emotional moments of his career.

🗣️ “I had a setback with the broken finger, but after three or four races, I was fine.”
Despite racing with a screw in his finger, he pushed through the pain and kept fighting at the front.

🗣️ “The 2026 Ducati is a great opportunity… there’s going to be even more rivalry between Marc and me.”
Next season, both brothers will ride identical machinery—the top-spec Ducati—raising expectations for an intense family duel.

🗣️ “I’d beat him without hesitation. What I worry about is accidentally taking him out.”
Álex admits the fear every sibling racer understands: you battle hard, but the bike in front is your brother. Both have discussed their limits to avoid disaster.

🗣️ “In fast right-hand corners, I’m better. He’s better in left-hand corners and under braking.”
A rare, honest breakdown of where each Márquez brother has the edge.

🗣️ “I like to step with my right foot first… now I even do three little hops.”
His quirky pre-race superstition has become a ritual he tries not to let get out of control.

🗣️ “My mother tells Marc to let me win… he’s already won so much!”
Álex jokes about family pressure—his mother wants him to become world champion one day, even if Marc has to “give him a break.”

🏁 After a brutal, injury-filled season, Jorge Martín looks back on 2025 with honesty, maturity, and a renewed hunger to fight for future titles.

🗣️ “This year has been really, really, really difficult… but the important thing is always to get back up.”

Martín reflects on a season defined by pain and setbacks, yet one that strengthened him mentally and reminded him of the value of perseverance.

🗣️ “I think I've learned that I have much more love for this sport than I expected… I’ll be here as long as my body and mind allow me to.”

A powerful personal revelation: despite injuries, crashes, and frustration, his passion for MotoGP has grown even deeper. He wants to fight for championships—nothing less.

🗣️ “I feel a transformation within myself… I want to be a better rider.”
He admits he can’t control injuries, but he can control effort, discipline, and mindset. 2025 became a year of inner change, not just racing.

🗣️ “I learn very small things by winning, but I learn a lot from being in my situation.”
His Qatar accident—one of the toughest moments of his career—taught him more than victories ever could.

🗣️ “I am now an Aprilia rider… and I will fight for it until the end.”
Martín reaffirms loyalty to Aprilia, while acknowledging he’s a different kind of rider who needs his own adaptation path.

🗣️ “I’ll disconnect for a few weeks… eat lots of good Spanish food that I really need.”

After an exhausting year, a mental and physical reset is his priority before returning stronger.

🏁 A historic year for Marc Márquez ends with a new award, emotional reflections, and a clear update on his slow but steady recovery toward the February Malaysia test.

🗣️ “It was a hard-fought title… I’ve lost three years of my career, but I’ve gained so much in my life.”
Marc looks back on a ninth world crown that became even more meaningful after years of injury and setbacks, celebrating a historic 1–2 with his brother Álex.

🗣️ “I’m happy for this award… the championship and runner-up finish were celebrated properly.”
He receives the first-ever ADN MARCA award, joking about still recovering his voice after days of celebrations.

🗣️ “My shoulder is doing well… now I’m starting to regain mobility to arrive in the best possible shape for the February tests in Malaysia.”
Recovery remains slow but positive after five weeks in a sling, with his focus set on returning strong for Sepang.

25/11/2025

After climbing back to the top, Marc Márquez pauses—not to celebrate, but to acknowledge the years he lost, the battles he fought, and the life lessons that reshaped him.

🗣️ “It was a hard-fought title… I’ve lost three years of my career, but I’ve gained so much in my life.” — Marc Márquez

His comeback wasn’t defined by speed alone. It was defined by broken bones, doubt, reinvention, and the courage to start again. For Márquez, this title doesn’t just reopen a chapter—it closes a painful one.

Maverick Viñales enters 2026 focused on rebuilding both body and technique after a severe shoulder injury that forced surgery and months of recovery.

He explained the extent of the damage and how difficult adapting to the bike still is:

🗣️ “It was an unusual injury… the supraspinatus was 70% torn, ligaments torn, and the fracture was the hardest. It becomes very rigid and I have no mobility. Getting used to the bike is still difficult.”

Viñales also described the crash moment and the pain that followed:
🗣️ “I saw my shoulder all the way down… it hurt more and more. They put me under to put it back in place and told me to forget about racing and get surgery immediately.”

Despite the setback, he left KTM’s recent test optimistic thanks to a tightly organized program:
🗣️ “It was a super focused test to define parts. KTM did a very good job.”

He connected this new disciplined mindset to the values he learned as a kid at the track with his family—effort, focus, and the hunger to win.

Now, he wants to refine every detail of his riding, leaning on Jorge Lorenzo’s experience:
🗣️ “If I want to compete with the best, I have to polish every detail. Jorge is a technical rider who can help me with those details. My hunger to win is immeasurable.”

And he knows MotoGP demands precision above all:
🗣️ “I need to be precise. Today’s MotoGP demands consistency… having an outside perspective is vital.”

25/11/2025

Honda’s rebuild continues with Luca Marini at the center of the project, but the Italian insists nothing has changed with VR46 despite becoming a factory rider.

🗣️ “The best opportunity of my life.”

Marini says joining Honda at its lowest point was a risk, but one he never hesitated to take. Since arriving in 2024, he believes the RC213V has taken “a very big step forward,” even if the hardest part of development is still ahead. He highlights how his role has shifted Honda’s work culture, focusing on solving problems alongside engineers rather than just requesting changes.

🗣️ “Technically, I’ve helped with many things… trying to give all the engineers answers.”

He explains that Honda once relied heavily on Marc Márquez to mask technical limitations, but now the team works with a clearer structure, more personnel, and a more collaborative approach. With podiums and even a breakthrough win this season, Marini sees 2026 as a realistic year to fight for victories.

🗣️ “I am not becoming independent from VR46.”

Despite spending more time in Honda’s factory structure, Marini denies any distancing from the VR46 Academy. He says the dynamic with the riders remains unchanged, though shared time is naturally harder now that many of them—Bezzecchi, Bagnaia, and himself—are all in factory teams.

With the 2027 rule shake-up looming, Marc Márquez sends a chilling reminder to the paddock — the next era won’t promise anyone the best bike.

25/11/2025

Jorge Martin is keeping 2027 contract talks on hold as he prioritises full recovery for 2026.

🗣️ “No, no, not yet, we haven’t started… We’ll definitely be talking about this soon.” — Jorge Martin

After a 2025 season wrecked by injuries, Martin says contract negotiations aren’t the focus right now. Aprilia also want to give him time, with Massimo Rivola emphasising recovery first before deciding their 2027 lineup.

🗣️ “I have to catch up… I’m focused on doing a good job and starting the season at full throttle.” — Jorge Martin

Despite the difficult title defence, Aprilia believe they can fight for the 2026 crown with a fully fit Martin and an improving RS-GP — especially after Bezzecchi’s breakthrough year.
