Thursday at Assen was the first chance for the MotoGP paddock to catch up with all the protagonists in the massive flurry of 2025 rider market moves that had happened since the previous race.

So as a special exclusive for The Race Members' Club, Simon Patterson and Matt Beer hooked up for a snap episode of MotoGP Extra as soon as the riders had finished giving their takes on all the machinations of recent weeks.

From Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez's different stances over Ducati's 2025 choice to Maverick Vinales revealing the real reason he's leaving Aprilia, there was plenty to discuss.

And we also learned a lot from the riders yet to seal their 2025 deals, including a revelation about how KTM had treated Jack Miller and Joan Mir's logic for prioritising staying at Honda despite how badly his stint there is going.
