How to watch MotoGP 2025 live online — stream every race this season
The MotoGP season is shaping up to be an absolute thriller as Marc Márquez goes in search of a seventh world title. The veteran Spanish racer last won the title in 2019 but after some lean years in which he struggled with injuries, is back to his very best in 2025. What makes it even more exciting is that his nearest rival is his younger brother Álex Márquez. The Ducati racer won the Moto2 title back in 2019 but has struggled to make an impact in the premier series after making the move in 2020. As things stand, the older Márquez holds a 40-point lead over his brother at the top of the championship standings thanks to his five race victories from nine races. But with 13 race weekends still to take place, there are plenty of points up for grabs and things could change very quickly. Behind the two Márquez brothers, two-time world champion Francesco Bagnaia is the only other rider to win a race this season. The Italian finished in second place overall last season and could still emerge as a contender for the title with so many race weekends remaining. Next up its the Dutch MotoGP at the TT Circuit Assen. Here's our guide on where to watch MotoGP live online from anywhere.

Kiwi Lineage At The Forefront For The 'Jean Machine'
It's just as well Jean Kento Turner enjoys flying. This year he'll be making at least 10 return trips from his home in Osaka to various European race circuits, and a trip to New Zealand in 2026 is not out of the question. Jean – as in the 'Jean Machine' – is a busy 16-year-old Japanese schoolboy, contesting the Japanese Suzuka stock 600 series, as well as the European-based FIM Yamaha Blu Cru R3 World Cup and the Italian CIV Moto3 Championship with Team POS Corse. The Japanese national, who was born in Hiroshima, the middle of three children, also holds dual nationality through his Kiwi passport via his father Simon Turner. And for those wondering, yes, Jean's father is the Simon Turner who raced in New Zealand back in the 1980s and 90s. Jean, who turns 17 in September, has emerged this year as a rising talent, drawing on his years of European racing experience as he graduates to the bigger classes. He is equally at home in all three categories, father Simon says, though a recent growth spurt would suggest his immediate future lies in Moto2 or World Supersport. 'He's at the crossover phase.' 'He's now too tall for NSF250 Talent cup bikes/format and too young for full Moto2, so he's just enjoying exploring these three different categories and gaining new skills every time he gets on a bike.' The CIV series also suits Jean, where the bikes are slightly bigger than regular Moto3, running Yamaha 450cc engines. 'But, yes, a big bike is probably where Jean needs to be heading soon, Moto2 ideally.' This is Jean's first year racing on Japan's full-size circuits and in April he made his stock 600 debut on a Honda at Suzuka. 'He was most impressive on his 600 debut, in my eyes,' says Simon. 'He's still kind of unknown here in Japan, though Suzuka results have made people take notice.' Jean, riding for and under the guidance of former HRC rider and tester and Suzuka Eight-Hour pole-sitter Shinya Takieshi, finished second in his debut race at the famed Japanese track. He backed that up at the recent second round with a win. Takeishi san comments: 'Kento recently joined my team with the initial goal of using the Japanese domestic races at Suzuka on the 600cc as a training platform for his overseas efforts. 'However, it was clear from watching him at the first test that he had exceptional adaptability and natural speed, enough that I could see he would be a title contender right away. 'His curiosity and ability to absorb instructions then immediately convert them into action, even during a race situation, is unique. 'Feedback is precise and accurate, which makes my job very thrilling and rewarding. In the first two races of the season, he has achieved a second place and a win with the fastest laps on both occasions, much exceeding our expectations. 'We are looking forward to nurturing his considerable future potential.' It was also a new experience for Jean on the Yamaha. He had never ridden an R3before the first round of the R3 World Cup at Portimao. He learned quickly, and in just the second round at Misano earlier in June, Jean claimed a second-place finish – the first World Series podium in Europe by a member of the Turner family since uncle Keith 54 years ago. Jean currently sits seventh overall in the Yamaha R3 World Cup, with four rounds – 8 races – remaining. Jean's route to the world stage has been an interesting one, starting with Japanese pocket bike series until age 10, before moving on to 100cc minibikes and flat-tracking. At the age of 13, Jean made the big step to Premoto3 in the Italian Championship. After showing promise, he was picked up by Paulo Oliviera (Miguel Oliveira's father) to do the ultra-competitive 2023 ESBK Spanish Championship in Premoto3. Again, consistent improvements saw him running towards the pointy end of the field by year's end. However, 2024 was a frustrating year, a growing Jean no longer fitting comfortably on the NSF250 Talent Cup bikes and picked up an injury. Come 2025, and it was time to rethink bike choices and strategy, says Simon. 'Originally, I was planning on doing the Asia Pacific Yamaha R3 series,' Jeansays. 'But during the application process, Yamaha Japan intervened, and I was invited to go straight into the world series. 'It was a big leap into the unknown for me, but as it turns out Yamaha's judgment was the correct one.' Like so many teenage racers, Jean's family is funding his race programme. 'Yes, it's coming out of our pockets, and sustaining it for four years in Europe is certainly a huge family commitment so far,' says Simon, who runs an inkjet technology supply business based in Osaka. No decision has yet been made regarding the path Jean will take in 2026. 'We have an open mind, and several teams have seats available for him in FIMJuniorGP both Moto3 and Moto2, although funding is always a vital consideration,' says Simon. 'Certainly, Jean's podium and real pace at Misano was a big result and has already opened some new doors.' As for making a debut New Zealand race appearance, Jean says 'never say never'. 'Maybe if a nice summer race package came up . . . who knows.' Regardless, Jean is very proud of his New Zealand heritage and points to his helmet design by Starline – who create designs for MotoGP stars, including JorgeMartin, Pecco Bagnia and Joan Mir – 'Southern Cross and the silver ferns'.

Justin Barcia to return from knee injury in Southwick, Pro Motocross Round 5
Justin Barcia will return to racing this weekend for Round 5 of the 2025 Pro Motocross season at The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts. Barcia suffered a knee injury in Round 14 of the Monster Energy Supercross series, and since he did not require surgery, he initially hoped to return to action in the season opener in Pala, California. Although that deadline has come and gone, Southwick is a good place for Barcia to begin his Pro Motocross season. In eight starts there, he stood on the podium four times — all with third-place overall finishes. The most recent of these came in 2021 when he finished second in Moto 1 to the eventual overall winner Dylan Ferrandis and was fourth in Moto 2. Barcia finished 14th in Motocross points last year after making only five starts. Notably, his last start of the season came at Southwick, where he finished seventh overall with results of sixth and 11th in the two motos. Following that race, Barcia chose to rest his knee after attempting to ride with an injury he suffered at the end of the 2024 Supercross season. Barcia anticipated returning for the final rounds of Motocross, beginning with Unadilla, but did not remount his GasGas 450 until the start of the SMX Playoffs. Barcia is currently 15th in combined SuperMotocross League standings, which will determine his seeding for the three-round playoffs beginning in September. He has an 88-point advantage over 21st-place Mitchell Harrison. The top 20 in combined Supercross and Motocross points earn an automatic invitation to the playoffs.

Brad Binder turns his poor run of form around with solid ninth place
Weekend to forget for Darryn Binder and Ruché Moodley at Italian MotoGP. Brad Binder is happy to get his MotoGP campaign up and running again. Picture: Red Bull KTM Brad Binder hopes his solid ninth place in the Italian MotoGP is just the start of better things to come. The Red Bull KTM rider was under serious pressure going into Sunday's main race. His crash on the first corner of the sprint race on Saturday meant that he went down in five of seven starts, with only three championship points to show. He made a good start from 15th on the starting grid at Mugello on Sunday and quickly found himself in contention for the top 10. He moved up to eighth place late in the race before team-mate Pedro Acosta edged him by less than three hundredths of a second for eighth place. Brad Binder stays positive The seven points Binder earned for ninth place saw him move up one place to 13th in the title race on 42 points. Marc Marquez is running away with the MotoGP championship on 270 points. 'It was a tricky race and I'm glad to finish. It's by no means what I wanted but at least it's a starting point,' Binder told the KTM website after the race. 'Importantly I found out what we need to finish for next week, and if we can get a little bit more stability it will be very beneficial.' ALSO READ: Brad Binder apologises to Red Bull KTM after double French flop KTM boss delighted KTM team boss Aki Ajo was also glad to see a strong finish from Binder. 'For Brad it was a solid day after some crashes recently. It was important to finish and get some confidence back,' Ajo said. Things did not go all that well for the rest of the South African contingent in Italy. Brad Binder's brother Darryn finished outside the Moto2 points in 21st place, while Ruché Moodley crashed out on lap two of the Moto3 race. The next stop on the calendar, the 10th of the 22-race season, is the Grand Prix of the Netherlands next weekend.

Marc Marquez claims 100th career pole with lap record in Italian GP qualifying
Marc Marquez took the 100th pole of his career on his Ducati debut at the Mugello Circuit at their home Italian Grand Prix on Saturday in a qualifying session where the lap record was broken several times. It was Marquez's sixth pole of the season and the 72nd MotoGP pole of his career to go with his 14 poles in Moto2 and 14 more in the 125cc World Championship. "I'm super happy because it was a real pole position, it was without (using) the slipstreams, alone and just trying to find my limits," Marquez said. "The pace was not bad but (I have to) be patient because in the afternoon with a warm temperature, it can change everything. But at the moment we are there and ready to fight for the sprint and main race." Marquez initially took provisional pole when he slotted in behind his brother Alex and used the Gresini bike's slipstream to his advantage. As Alex crossed the line with the fastest time, Marc snatched top spot from him less than a second later with a lap record. Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo then broke the record but before he could celebrate, Marc's Italian team mate Francesco Bagnaia went even faster on his home track where he has won the last three Grands Prix. However, Marc had one more flying lap left in him and when the Spaniard crossed the line, he set a time of 1:44.169 seconds to pip Bagnaia to pole by 0.059 seconds. Alex will join them on the front row. "I tried everything in qualifying, Marc was in super shape and it's tough to beat him. I wanted to start on the front row and this was the best result in qualifying (for me) this season," Bagnaia said.
