A route through junior racing and MotoE
Fermín Aldeguer comes from Murcia in Spain. He began racing small motorcycles as a child, progressing through regional events and the European Talent Cup. His route included the Superstock 600 category within the European Moto2 system, followed by appearances in MotoE and a substitute ride in the Moto2 world championship in 2021.
He secured a full-time Moto2 seat in 2022. In 2023 he took his first win in the class at Silverstone, then won the final four Grands Prix consecutively to finish third overall. This period demonstrated his ability to maintain speed across several weekends and helped explain Ducati’s early decision to sign him.
From consecutive victories to a first MotoGP win
Aldeguer continued in Moto2 in 2024, winning several races before moving up to MotoGP with Gresini in 2025. Rather than following the common world-championship progression through Moto3 and Moto2, he built experience across European racing and other categories before reaching the premier class.
He claimed his first MotoGP Grand Prix victory in Indonesia in 2025. A win in his rookie season marked an important achievement in that progression. At the same time, every premier-class weekend includes practice, qualifying, a Sprint and a main race, requiring competitiveness across more stages of the event.
The 2026 Gresini line-up
In 2026, Aldeguer continues with number 54 on a Ducati for Gresini, partnering Álex Márquez. This is his second MotoGP season, with existing circuit knowledge and garage relationships providing a foundation for further progress.
His teammate finished runner-up in 2025 and offers a reference in both experience and performance. Although both riders use the same manufacturer’s bikes, comparisons should account for their specific machinery and weekend setups. Their scores across the points-paying sessions combine to form the team’s total.
What to watch
Take his consecutive Moto2 wins in 2023 and first premier-class victory in 2025 as career milestones, then focus on whether he can reproduce that competitiveness at more circuits. Progress from practice to qualifying, differences between the Sprint and Grand Prix, and second-half race lap times are more useful than a single finishing position for understanding his second-season development.
