The MotoGP paddock is buzzing with excitement as French automotive manufacturer Alpine, a brand under the Renault Group, has been announced as the title sponsor of Pramac Racing for the 2025 season. This partnership marks a significant crossover between the worlds of motorsport and high-performance automotive engineering, promising a new era for the Ducati-powered MotoGP team.
The announcement was made during a joint press conference held in Monaco, where representatives from Alpine and Pramac Racing unveiled the team’s new livery and outlined their ambitions for the upcoming season. The collaboration is set to bring fresh energy to the team, which has been a strong competitor in recent years.
Alpine’s entry into MotoGP represents a strategic move to expand its brand visibility in the global motorsport arena. Known for its rich history in Formula 1 and endurance racing, Alpine is now venturing into two-wheeled competition, aligning itself with one of the most dynamic and popular motorsport series in the world.
Laurent Rossi, CEO of Alpine, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership:
“This is an exciting chapter for Alpine. Partnering with Pramac Racing allows us to connect with a passionate audience in MotoGP and showcase the spirit of performance, innovation, and excellence that defines our brand.”
Pramac Racing’s Team Principal, Paolo Campinoti, echoed similar sentiments:
“We are thrilled to welcome Alpine as our title sponsor. This collaboration is a perfect match, as both Alpine and Pramac share a commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance and achieving success at the highest level of motorsport.”
The team will now officially compete as Alpine Pramac Racing in the 2025 MotoGP World Championship.
As part of the announcement, the team revealed a striking new livery for the 2025 season. The bikes will feature Alpine’s iconic blue and white color scheme, accented with red details to reflect the French flag. The bold design not only represents Alpine’s heritage but also brings a fresh and modern look to Pramac Racing’s Ducati machines.
Riders Jorge Martín and Johann Zarco, both key figures in Pramac Racing’s recent success, were present at the event to unveil the bikes. Zarco, a French rider, expressed his excitement about representing a French brand on the MotoGP grid:
“Racing with the Alpine colors is a proud moment for me. It’s great to see a legendary French brand like Alpine supporting MotoGP and our team. I’m eager to deliver strong results this season.”
Pramac Racing has been one of MotoGP’s most competitive satellite teams, consistently challenging factory teams for podiums and wins. With Alpine’s support, the team is aiming even higher in 2025.
Jorge Martín, who narrowly missed out on the championship title in 2023, sees this partnership as a motivation to push for even greater achievements:
“With Alpine’s backing, we have an incredible opportunity to take the team to the next level. The added resources and support will be a huge boost for everyone involved.”
Alpine’s expertise in engineering and aerodynamics, honed through years of competing in Formula 1, is expected to provide valuable insights to Pramac Racing. Although Alpine’s role in the technical development of the team remains limited due to MotoGP’s regulations, the collaboration could bring new innovations in areas such as sponsorship activation and fan engagement.
Alpine’s entry into MotoGP highlights a growing trend of automotive manufacturers partnering with teams in the premier motorcycle racing series.
