History was made in Barcelona this month, as Prima Pramac Racing’s Jorge Martin saw off the strongest of challenges from the Factory Ducati Corse Team and lead rider Francesco Bagnaia, to become the first independent MotoGP World Champion since MotoGP began. This comes hard on the heels of last year’s success, when Prima Pramac scored another history-making achievement by becoming the first independents to win MotoGP’s coveted Team’s World Championship.It was an emotional weekend all round as the Spaniard celebrated amidst a race that was designated “The Motul Solidarity Grand Prix of Barcelona” which was staged at the Catalan circuit in order to generate support and funding for the Valencia region. Valencia was originally due to host the 2024 MotoGP finale but recent floods caused devastation in the region and led to the final raced being staged in Barcelona, with proceeds from the Motul Solidarity Grand Prix of Barcelona going to help recovery in the disaster-affected region.
Motul has been a steadfast partner of the Prima Pramac Racing Team since 2021, and this historic victory highlights the success of their ongoing collaboration. Over the years, Motul and Prima Pramac Racing have built a strong partnership grounded in shared values of excellence, high performance, and continuous innovation. This synergy has brought not only advancements in technology but also impactful marketing initiatives that have resonated deeply with fans.
For Motul, MotoGP is more than just a visibility platform; it is a crucial part of the brand’s identity, embodying its core values and technological prowess. The last time Motul celebrated a MotoGP World Champion was in 2020 with Joan Mir and Team Suzuki Ecstar. Now, as Jorge Martin raises the championship trophy, Motul is proud to once again stand beside the best, reinforcing its legacy at the pinnacle of motorcycle racing.
