Between psychological pressure, transitions between brands and strategies on the track, Haro highlighted the essential elements that shape the championship and its main players.
Haro described the last weekend of the season, marked by the fierce fight between Jorge Martin et
Pecco Bagnaia for the title, as a unique moment of tension: “ weekend tension which had not been felt for a long time. Jorge Martin's entire team freed itself from this pressure by managing the atmosphere perfectly. »
This pressure management is, according to him, an essential key to achieving the desired results. He greeted the team of
Martin for his ability to maintain a balance despite the enormous stakes.
The arrival of the same Jorge Martin chez
Aprilia represents a major change for the driver and the brand. Haro highlights the psychological and technical challenges of such a transition: “ when you change brands, the atmosphere changes. You have to know how to manage this with motivation and intelligence. »
AlthoughAprilia showed solid performance, notably thanks to Aleix Espargaró et
Maverick ViñalesHaro believes that the brand still lacks a key asset to compete with Ducati. He sees in Martin this potential:
Aprilia needs those extra two or three tenths, and Martin can provide them. The bike is competitive, but it still lacks a little extra to aim for the titlee. »

Pecco Bagnaiadespite the pressure, showed maturity in managing the last race: “
Pecco preferred to take risks to stay ahead of Marc Marquez. It was a question of ego, but also strategic, because
ending the season with a victory gives a psychological advantage for the following year. »
Haro also welcomed the approach of
Bagnaiawho combines audacity and intelligence on the track.
One of Haro's most poignant observations concerns
Joan Mirwhose adaptation at
Honda was particularly difficult: “
seeing Joan scream as she entered the box made me very sad. This shows how frustrating it is to not be able to exploit your talent because of motorcycling.

Johann Zarco was also mentioned as another example of frustration, highlighting that, even for talented riders, an inadequate bike can block progress.
Marc Marquez remains an essential figure according to Haro, who marvels at his performance despite an inferior machine: “ Marc ridiculed everyone. With a GP23, he finished third in the championship, ahead of riders equipped with better bikes. »
Marquezwho joins the factory
Ducati in 2025, is expected to be a key element in the fight for the title.
With the winter tests to come, Haro is already planning for the next season. The integration of Martin will be crucial to see if
Aprilia can reduce the gap with
Ducati. The Ducati official Pecco Bagnaia remains a favorite to defend his title thanks to his consistency and strategy. The arrival of Marc
Marquez chez Ducati raises high expectations. The young KTM prodigy Pedro Acosta
could be the surprise of the season.
Oscar Haro offers a valuable perspective on the human and technical challenges of MotoGP. With driver changes, transitions between brands, and psychological tensions, the 2025 season promises to be exciting. The next winter tests, notably in Malaysia, will provide the first clues about the balance of power. One thing is certain: MotoGP continues to push the limits, both on the track and in the minds of the riders.
