French rider Romain Febvre, the 2025 MXGP World Champion, will end his seven-season partnership with Kawasaki at the close of this season. The split of this storied pairing looks set to reshape the MXGP field next season.
A split right after winning the title isn't unusual in racing, but seven years is still heavy. A rider and a manufacturer come to know each other better the more they win together. Dissolving that relationship means both sides have their next picture in mind. The scramble for MXGP seats next season is about to move fast. It's going to get noisy out there.

Feels like MXGP riders switch teams a lot every year — is that just normal?
Even champions switch teams all the time, it just comes down to contract length.
So being the 2025 champion means this season's a title defense?
Loved his riding back in the Kawasaki days, kinda sad to see it end.
Curious where Febvre lands next — Ducati or Yamaha?
With talent like that he'll have teams lining up, could turn into a bidding war.
Seven years together and it ends like this... wonder what happened.
Leaving right after winning the title is a surprisingly odd bit of timing.
