Fermín Aldeguer – BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP
Fermín Aldeguer's arrival in MotoGP with BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP in 2025 was one of the stories of the season. The Spanish rookie from Murcia delivered an outstanding debut campaign, claiming the prestigious MotoGP Rookie of the Year award and contributing a Grand Prix victory to the team's historic haul of 33 podiums.
From his very first MotoGP start at the 2025 Thai Grand Prix, Aldeguer signalled his intentions. He scored championship points on debut – a remarkable achievement that highlighted just how naturally he adapted to the power and demands of the Ducati Desmosedici GP24. His development throughout the season was rapid, with each race weekend revealing new layers of speed and racecraft.
Aldeguer's first Grand Prix victory – one of the team's four GP wins in 2025 – was the defining moment of his rookie season. Crossing the line first in only his first full MotoGP campaign confirmed the immense talent that Gresini Racing and BK8 News had invested in. The Faenza team's ability to nurture young riders while competing at the front of the field is a testament to their technical and sporting infrastructure.
To win in my first MotoGP season with this incredible team is something I will never forget. In 2026, I want more.
Entering 2026, Aldeguer is no longer a rookie. Armed with a full season of MotoGP data, the knowledge of the Ducati Desmosedici GP, and the support of BK8 News and the Gresini Racing infrastructure, he is expected to take a significant step forward in performance. Team insiders have described him as one of the most naturally gifted riders to join the Gresini project, with the potential to challenge for multiple race wins in 2026.
His partnership with Álex Márquez in the BK8 Gresini garage provides a competitive internal benchmark that pushes both riders to extract maximum performance from the Ducati machinery. The 2026 season, with its new "Pure Essence" livery and continued BK8 News title sponsorship, promises to be even more spectacular.
