Crash.internet writers have predicted which MotoGP rookie may have the most effective season…
Peter McLaren: This seems to be like a probably shut battle between Ai Ogura and Fermin Aldeguer, who had been evenly matched on their debut on the Barcelona take a look at. Each gained three races in Moto2 final season on the Boscoscuro chassis, however new champion Ogura completed nearly 100 factors away from Aldeguer in fifth.
Nonetheless, Aldeguer now has the ex-MotoGP title successful GP24 machine, plus Marc Marquez’s ex-crew chief Frankie Carchedi in his nook at Gresini. Ogura may have 2025 manufacturing facility Aprilia equipment at Trackhouse however the RS-GP will nonetheless have to make an enormous step to be persistently on the Desmosedici’s stage.
For LCR’s Somkiat Chantra the most effective comparability would be the different Honda riders, however at the least he can journey with out an excessive amount of stress – after a MotoGP debut in entrance of his house followers at Buriram anyway!
Derry Munikartono: Fermin Aldeguer, and I can see why.
In comparison with different 2025 MotoGP rookie courses, Aldeguer has – in paper – the most effective bundle for this season.
Becoming a member of the premier class with Gresini Ducati, Aldeguer would have the all-conquering GP24 on his disposal. Whereas he would have Frankie Carchedi, who was working alongside Marc Marquez final yr, as crew chief.
Alex Whitworth: Realistically, the best-performing rookie ought to be Fermin Aldeguer.
He has the most effective bike of the three newcomers within the Ducati GP23, and a crew chief in Frankie Carchedi who’s skilled in working with younger first-years.
Ai Ogura has admitted himself that he’s not probably the most proficient rider on the market, and can most likely take time to determine MotoGP, and Somkiat Chantra simply isn’t fairly pretty much as good as both of the opposite two.
Lewis Duncan: Ai Ogura comes into MotoGP because the reigning Moto2 world champion and in addition the rookie who seems to be probably the most able to make the step to the premier class.
Whereas Fermin Aldeguer could also be producing extra hype, his inconsistent 2024 Moto2 marketing campaign on equal equipment to Ogura has additionally raised doubts about his readiness.
Ogura finds himself in a superb surrounding at Trackhouse, helmed by Davide Brivio, who has been chargeable for bringing quite a few large names into MotoGP and growing them into stars: Joan Mir, Alex Rins and Maverick Vinales are names that each one spring to thoughts.
The Aprilia was a race successful bike in 2024, however as a challenge that wants a little bit of refining there gained’t be a lot stress on Ogura to carry out immediately.
Jordan Moreland: On paper, it ought to be Fermin Aldeguer. He has the most effective bike from 2024, and probably the greatest crew chiefs in Frankie Carchedi guiding him by means of his rookie yr.
Ai Ogura will present flashes of velocity, however much like Somkiat Chantra additionally, they’ll take time to adapt to the Aprilia and Honda equipment greater than Aldeguer on the Ducati I consider.
My choose for rookie of the yr is Fermin Aldeguer, I believe he’ll shock many in 2025.
