MotoGP 2025 Bangkok launch as it happened

Live updates of the 2025 MotoGP launch event in Bangkok

The 2025 MotoGP season begins at the end of the month in Thailand, but the series is setting up shop in the country for much of February. 

On 12-13 February the final pre-season test of the year takes place at Buriram, before the campaign begins at the circuit on 28 March - 2 February. 

But first, the 2025 MotoGP season will be officially launched in Bangkok with all 11 teams present for a day of activities in front of the Thai fans. 

It is the first time MotoGP has staged an official launch for a season, though there will be no liveries revealed as the teams have already unveiled their colours for the coming campaign. 

The launch event begins at 9:30am GMT with all riders taking their MotoGP machines for a parade through the city, before taking to the stage in front of the fans.

Reigning world champion Jorge Martin will not attend after undergoing surgery on fractures he suffered in a crash on day one of the Sepang test. 

VR46's Fabio Di Giannantonio and Trackhouse Racing's Raul Fernandez will also miss the event due to injuries suffered in pre-season testing.
