2025 Misano MotoGP test: LIVE UPDATES!
Live updates from Monday's 2025 post-race Misano MotoGP test
The final official in-season test of the 2025 MotoGP season takes place today (Monday 15 September) at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.
The now-traditional post-race test at Misano typically offers up a first glimpse at what manufacturers have been cooking up for the season ahead.
However, with 2026 the final year of the current regulations and engine development frozen for all but Honda and Yamaha, here isn't likely to be much in the way of major updates.
The most significant thing about this test, however, is the public debut of the factory Yamaha riders on the new V4 M1. The bike completed the San Marino Grand Prix race weekend with test rider Augusto Fernandez, who was 14th on Sunday.
This test is being seen in some corners as a major moment for Fabio Quartararo in deciding his future beyond 2026, with his first test of the V4 set to reveal just how far away Yamaha is from having a competitive motorcycle.
Elsewhere, it will be an important day for Ducati and Pecco Bagnaia to try and find solutions to his problems after a tough San Marino Grand Prix. Scoring no points on home soil, he once again said his patience is being tested - with Gigi Dall'Igna admitting the same thing.

Aprilia
Update from Aprilia on their test plan for today. Marco Bezzecchi is set to try a different chassis, Jorge Martin continues his adaptation.
From Aprilia:
- With the factory riders, we will focus on testing some ideas developed during the race weekends that we haven’t had the chance to try yet, as our time was fully dedicated to preparing for the sessions. Overall, it will be a fine-tuning job: electronic tuning adjustments, set-up work, and evaluation of other components.
- We will also test some hardware elements on the bike: in particular, with Marco Bezzecchi we will test a chassis that we had previously tested in a specific configuration, but which we want to try again because the bike has evolved in the meantime.
- Jorge Martín will instead focus on all those aspects that cannot be tested during a race weekend, as he is still in the initial phase of refining the package. The main goal is to fine-tune every element to consistently place him within the top five.

Marc Marquez back to the top now, 0.005s ahead of Acosta and 0.019s clear of Bagnaia with a 1:30.914.

Across the grid we will likely seem new items being developed with a view to 2026, though perhaps not as much as we've traditionally seen in the past at this test.

This is also a good opportunity for Jorge Martin to work on his adaptation to the Aprilia.
The reigning world champion is getting stronger, but time attack remains a big weakness of his and today provides a perfect chance to work on this.
