Repsol is coming back to the paddock. It will replace Liqui Moly as the official supplier for Moto2 & Moto3 beginning in the 2026 season.
Just before the start of the final 2025 round at Valencia, Yamaha officially announced that all their M1s on the grid in 2026 will be running the new V4 engine. :vroom:
A new heart beats within me in 2026 – the V4 💙
But my soul and racing DNA? It's the same.
Pure Yamaha 🧬
My legacy forged in speed, passion, and dreams remain 🏆
My heart will continue revving.
And I'll keep making MotoGP fans' hearts race 🏁🏍�
I promise.
Always yours,
The M1

i was in Valencia for the final round, very good weekend. we were sat in front of a couple of guys from the UK who were telling us how superb the Yamaha V4 sounded, and i had the thought "how can you pick it out from the pack and how much different can it sound?" then it came round............. it sounds unearthly and unlike any other V4 out there. dont know why tho??!! looking forward to next year with Razgat on it!
cheers

Next year will really be interesting regardless of the V4 competitiveness. Toprak will be pushing Fabio and bring even more of the demon out of him. With 'El Diablo' already riding at 101% and wringing the snot out of the M1 it should be super entertaining to see what happens when the Turk arrives next season in the paddock next door.

It should be!
It will be interesting to see if they can make the V4 competitive , or close, by the start of next season. Fabio has done pretty well, especially in qualifying, this season on the M1, but he is getting more and more frustrated. I have to give him credit, he is pushing hard for everything he gets.
I'm anxious to see how Toprak does in MotoGP. So far, he seems to be getting more comfortable but is still being very cautious in testing, as they have only one V4 for him.
Less than 90 days until Round 1! :cheerleader:
