MotoGP is coming off a truly wild year of racing, and not just because Marc Marquez secured his 9th overall championship. No, throughout the season, we saw amazing side-by-side racing, insane crashes, team insanity, behind-the-scenes drama between riders, and the sale of the whole damn series to Formula 1's Liberty Media owners.
And that's just the tip of the overall iceberg of what happened during the 2025 season. There's so much more I'm glossing over.
But one of the biggest things to come out of this ludicrous season was the series' overall numbers, i.e., just how many fans tuned in, came out to races, and watched everything. And wouldn't you know it, this season was the biggest on record for everything, and that's likely down not just to Marquez's 9th ring, but also probably because the biggest story of the season was the brother-on-brother title fight between Alex and Marc. The drama propelled the series forward to new, staggering heights.
