It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of MotoGP Fantasy, and arguably get far too invested in my fictional team every season.

If you’ve not already created your team for 2025, head to https://fantasy.motogp.com/ , and why not join the MotoLu league whilst you’re there? (League code: YWCKXFK2)

Now I’ve got that out of the way, here are my initial thoughts on the 2025 MotoGP Fantasy season.

With a new MotoGP brand identity, comes a new MotoGP Fantasy dashboard. Whilst the primary structure is the same, it now features the new fonts, and the introduction of pink accents. I have to say, I’m enjoying how it looks – the pink in particular is a nice change from the red, as a colour that isn’t really linked to any of the teams on the grid.

But now, onto what you’re probably more interested in – pricing.

Although I am a huge fan of MotoGP Fantasy, I’d be lying if there hadn’t been times when I felt a little confused by some of the rider and team values. I know there is a (likely very complex) formula that looks at past performances, using the most recent Grand Prix as the biggest factor, to determine price changes.

However when you look at the grid as a whole, these prices don’t always reflect what’s happening on track (especially as there is a minimum and maximum amount that a rider’s price can change each round). This is particularly prevalent at the beginning of a season, when a rider’s value is based on their performance from the previous year, and price changes can take a while to reflect a change in their performance.

With this in mind, here are my first picks for underpriced and overpriced for the start of the 2025 MotoGP Fantasy season.

Underpriced – Raul Fernandez

Considering Fernandez finished 16th out of the 22 full-time riders last year, I’m slightly bewildered by him being the cheapest rider after the three rookies. With 6 top 10 finishes in 2024, more than the 5 riders priced directly above him achieved combined (Zarco – 2, Marini – 0, Rins – 2, Mir – 0, Savadori – 0), it feels slightly insulting both to Fernandez, and to Trackhouse (though I can’t imagine they’re really that bothered by a fictional price tag).

As long as Fernandez can get some consistent finishes this season, I can see him gaining value pretty quickly.

Overpriced – Prima Pramac Yamaha

This is a great example of when the formula unfortunately falls flat. As Prima Pramac Racing had the eventual World Champion in their garage last season, you can see how this price has come to be. But with Pramac leaving Ducati moving to Yamaha for 2025, it doesn’t make sense for this team to be the second most expensive team on the Fantasy grid.

Regardless of how well Miller and Oliveira perform, I expect this team will go down in value fairly consistently once price changes go into effect, so it’s a pick that isn’t worth risking (though at that price, I’m not sure who is even considering that risk).
