The 2025 MotoGP season has already seen its share of crashes and injuries. Several riders are sidelined, and teams have called in replacements to keep the grid full.
Here’s the latest update on who’s racing, who’s out, and who’s stepping in:
MotoGP
Marc Marquez – Getting wiped out by Marco Bezzecchi in the Grand Prix race at Mandalika, reigning World Champion Marc Marquez has suffered a fracture at the base of the coracoid process and a ligament injury to his right shoulder, neither of which is connected to his previous shoulder injuries.
The reigning World Champion will miss the remainder of the season to focus on recovery. He will be replaced by Ducati test rider Michele Pirro at Sepang.
Jorge Martin – The Spaniard suffered a displaced fracture of his right collarbone in his Turn 1 crash in the Japanese GP Sprint. Following successful surgery, he will miss the Malaysian Grand Prix. Lorenzo Savadori will replace him at Phillip Island.
Maverick Vinales – Still suffering from pain in his injured shoulder, Maverick Vinales has withdrawn from the Indonesian Grand Prix. The Spaniard will focus on recovery for the two remaining European rounds at the end of the season and will miss the Australian and Malaysian Grand Prixs. KTM test rider Pol Espargaro will take his place.
Moto2
Deniz Öncü – Deniz Öncü underwent successful surgery on his left leg to treat a fractured left distal fibula suffered while training during the summer break. The Turk will miss several race weekends. Dani Munoz will replace him.
Unai Orradre – The Spaniard will be replaced by Harrison Voight at the Australian and the Malaysian Grand Prix after a crash at Motegi caused a recurrence of an old left wrist injury.
Moto3
Dennis Foggia – Suffering from pneumonia, Dennis Foggia will miss the Australian and Malaysian Grand Prix. Joel Esteban will replace him.
David Munoz – The Intact GP rider has suffered a broken femur in his brutal crash with Adrian Fernandez at the Indonesian Grand Prix. He will very likely miss the remainder of the 2025 season and will be replaced by 2025 Red Bull Rookies Cup winner Brian Uriarte until full recovery.
