A 2025 move to the LCR Honda team will make Somkiat Chantra the first Thai rider in MotoGP history.
Somkiat Chantra will become the first rider from Thailand to race in the MotoGP class in 2025, as he steps up from the Moto2 World Championship to race for the LCR Honda team.
“I’m very happy when I know that I will go to MotoGP for next year, I was so happy. I was crying, calling my mum.” Thailand, it was recently announced, will also host the opening round of the 2025 MotoGP World Championship, which, it is now confirmed, will be Chantra’s first premier class race, meaning he will have the rare opportunity of beginning his MotoGP career with his home Grand Prix.
“After doing that for one year, Honda take me to do the selection for the Asia Talent Cup in 2014, and when I do selection I was happy that I was inside the 22 riders.
