In MotoGP, one rule remains constant: your first opponent is always the rider sharing your garage. And in the completed 2025 season, that truth shaped major headlines up and down the grid.
Although MotoGP may appear to be a team sport, the core of its competitiveness stems from a fiercely individualistic fight for glory. Riders contribute to the factory cause, yet every weekend their most accurate benchmark sits just across the pit box, armed with the same machinery and the same data.
As a result, teammate head-to-head records offer one of the clearest measures of performance beyond the points table. Here is how every pairing stacked up in 2025.
Ducati Lenovo
Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia have shared the Ducati garage for the first full season in 2025, and it has been a dominant campaign for the Spaniard.
Beaten by his teammate in all categories – Marquez taking 11 Grand Prix wins and 14 Sprint victories compared to the Italian’s two each – Bagnaia has struggled to match his teammate’s pace this season altogether, finishing on the podium 15 times across races and sprints, compared to Marquez’s 31.
However, the beating did not stop at just pure pace. Bagnaia also endured a challenging year in terms of reliability and accidents, recording nine DNFs across both formats, while Marquez had only three.
By the end of the season, Marquez had amassed 545 points, nearly doubling Bagnaia’s 288.
Gresini Racing
Alex Marquez and rookie Fermin Aldeguer shared the Gresini Racing garage in 2025, and it was a breakthrough season for both riders.
Marquez clearly led the team across all categories – winning three Grand Prix and three Sprint races compared to Aldeguer’s single GP victory and no Sprint wins – and dominating qualifying head-to-heads 20–2.
Aldeguer, in his first full MotoGP season, impressed enough to claim Rookie of the Year, but he was frequently outpaced by his more experienced teammate, finishing on just six combined podiums to Marquez’s 27.
Staying in the title fight with his brother Marc for half the season, Marquez accumulated 467 points, more than doubling Aldeguer’s 214. The strong performances helped Gresini Racing secure Best Independent Team of the Year.
VR46 Racing Team
Fabio Di Giannantonio has held the edge over teammate Franco Morbidelli in both Grand Prix and Sprint battles this season, with an 8-12 GP record and 14-7 in Sprints.
Di Giannantonio has taken nine overall podium finishes compared with Morbidelli’s four. In qualifying, Morbidelli has nudged ahead 13-8, including a best grid slot of P3, while di Giannantonio has gone as high as P2.
Both riders have shown flashes of strong race pace, with di Giannantonio claiming a GP second-place finish on the Ducati GP25 and Morbidelli taking P3 on the GP24.
With 262 points to Morbidelli’s 231, di Giannantonio leads the VR46 charge in the teams’ championship, keeping them comfortably in third as the season heads into the final rounds.
Aprilia Racing
Marco Bezzecchi has carried the bulk of Aprilia Racing’s challenge this season, out-racing and out-qualifying teammate Jorge Martin in every category, with a 6-1 record in Grand Prix, 8-0 in Sprints, and 8-0 in qualifying head-to-heads.
The Italian has won Grand Prixs and Sprints alike, claiming 15 podiums overall and converting the Aprilia into a race-winning machine in the second half of the season.
Martin, by contrast, struggled to get up to speed, missing most of the season through injury and scoring just 34 points with a best GP result of P4.
Bezzecchi’s performances carried Aprilia to second place in the teams’ championship, leaving a clear message for the 2026 season: Aprilia will challenge Ducati in 2026 and fight for the title!
Trackhouse Racing
Raul Fernandez has led Trackhouse Racing through a season of clear progress, out-racing Ai Ogura 10–7 in Grands Prix and holding a 12–6 advantage in qualifying, while the pair remain dead even at 9–9 in Sprint head-to-heads.
Fernandez delivered the team’s standout result with a breakthrough victory at the Australian Grand Prix, adding four total podiums and a best Sprint finish of P2 to reach 172 points.
Ogura, in his rookie campaign, opened the year with a debut at Buriram that produced his season-best results of P5 in the GP and P4 in the Sprint.
Although he has yet to score a podium and despite some gnarly injuries throughout the year, the Japanese managed to collect 89 points in his first year in the premier class.
The internal gap to teammate Fernandez reflects experience more than pace, with Fernandez establishing himself as Trackhouse’s frontrunner while Ogura’s early flashes suggest there’s more potential to explore in his second season in MotoGP.
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing
Pedro Acosta has emerged as the clear reference inside Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, out-racing Brad Binder 15–7 in Grands Prix, dominating Sprints 20–2, and sweeping qualifying 22–0 as part of a remarkable 42-0 Saturday record across his two MotoGP seasons.
The Spaniard has taken 12 podiums, including best results of P2 in both GP and Sprint, and collected 307 points as he and the team ramped up performance towards the end of the year.
Binder, on the other side of the KTM garage, contesting his sixth season with KTM, has endured his first MotoGP campaign without a single podium, despite a best GP finish of P4 and a best Sprint of P5, leaving him on 155 points and unable to counter Acosta’s rapid rise in 2025.
Red Bull KTM Tech3
Red Bull KTM Tech3’s season has taken on an uneven shape as Maverick Viñales and Enea Bastianini have traded strong peaks in form, hit by long spells of absence.
Viñales looked like KTM’s benchmark through the early and middle phases, not only leading the head-to-head against his teammate Bastianini in qualifying 10–5 and holding a 9–5 edge in Sprints, but also beating the KTM factory team riders on the regular.
Bastianini delivered the team’s only two podiums – both mid-season – and briefly appeared to be the project’s upward trend before his form faded again towards the end of the season. The Italian still leads the points 112–72 despite eight DNFs, compared with Viñales’s four.
Race-day margins remain tight: the pair split Grand Prix head-to-heads 8–6 in Bastianini’s favour, and both riders have shown flashes of podium-level pace without sustaining it.
Honda HRC Castrol
Honda HRC Castrol’s campaign has been defined by two very contrasting stories inside the factory team’s garage.
Joan Mir, enjoying his strongest season with Honda since joining in 2023, delivered the team’s standout results with two podiums, a best GP finish of P3, and a front-row start.
However, his year was heavily compromised by 19 (!) DNFs across Grands Prix and Sprints, a number that, especially towards the end of the year, easily erased much of the momentum he gained from those peak performances mid-season.
Marini, meanwhile, missed three mid-season rounds after a severe Suzuka 8h testing crash, but still managed to score points in all but four races and amassed 142 points to Mir’s 96. He led Mir 14–5 in GP head-to-heads and 10–7 in Sprints, with a best GP result of P5.
While the Spaniard showed the higher ceiling, even finishing on the podium towards the end of the season, Marini was far more consistent throughout the year and ultimately became the steadier reference within the garage.
LCR Honda
LCR Honda’s season ended up being defined by Johann Zarco’s breakthrough moments and Somkiat Chantra’s tough introduction to MotoGP.
Zarco produced one of the stories of the year by winning his home Grand Prix at Le Mans – the first Frenchman to do so in more than 70 years – and followed it up with a strong second place at Silverstone.
He comfortably led the head-to-head numbers against Chantra, sweeping qualifying 17–0 and holding clear advantages in both Sprints and Grands Prix on his way to 148 points, even with a massive 12 DNFs on the board.
Chantra, stepping up from Moto2, saw his rookie season disrupted by a knee injury and never fully adapted to the premier class, managing a best GP finish of P13 and just 7 points. The Thai will leave the team after just one year to join the Honda factory team in WorldSBK.
Monster Energy Yamaha
Monster Energy Yamaha’s season has settled into a clear pattern, with Fabio Quartararo once again carrying the bulk of the team’s results while Alex Rins delivers consistent but limited returns.
Quartararo has been the standout across both Yamaha squads, taking five pole positions and leading the factory effort with 201 points while clearly beating his teammate Alex Rins in all three head-to-heads.
Rins, meanwhile, despite being unable to match Quartararo throughout much of the season, managed to finish 42 of the 44 races in 2025. However, having collected just 68 points, it’s hard to call his the Spaniard’s second season in the Yamaha factory team anything other than disappointing – even on a M1 that has struggled.
Prima Pramac Yamaha
Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira both joined Pramac Racing for 2025, marking the team’s first season as a Yamaha satellite outfit.
Miller moved across from KTM after two challenging seasons, while Oliveira arrived from Trackhouse, struggling to find form following an early-season shoulder injury.
The intra-team battle was tight throughout the year, with Miller narrowly edging Oliveira in Grands Prix head-to-heads 9–9 and Sprints 13–6, while qualifying proved more decisive at 16–3 in Miller’s favour.
Neither rider managed to finish on the podium, with best finishes of P4 for Miller and P9 for Oliveira.
With points totals of 79 and 43, respectively, it was Miller who ultimately secured the Pramac Yamaha seat for 2026, while Oliveira will depart MotoGP to join BMW in World Superbike. Miller will be joined by Superbike World Champion Toprak Razgatlioglu.
