Celestino Vietti will switch to SpeedUp in 2025, alongside Alonso Lopez.

After Fermin Aldeguer agreed to move to MotoGP in 2025 it was clear a new rider would join SpeedUp. SpeedUp has now confirmed that it will be the current Red Bull KTM Ajo rider, Celestino Vietti, who replaces Aldeguer.

Vietti won the last Moto2 Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring and had been rumoured to be joining SpeedUp. Next year will be Vietti's fifth year in Moto2, he is now one of the most experienced riders on the grid.

However, 2025 will be Vietti's first season on a Boscoscuro chassis. So far he has spent his whole Moto2 career on a Kalex chassis.

“I am really excited about this opportunity,” Vietti said. “First of all, I would like to thank Luca and his team, as well as the staff of the VR46 Academy, for giving me the chance to live this experience.”

“It will be my first time on a new bike in Moto2, a challenge that I consider extremely stimulating,” the Italian said. “I can’t wait to start this new adventure; the package is clearly competitive, as demonstrated by the results of recent years and, in particular, those of this season.

“I hope to achieve great goals with this all-Italian duo. Thanks again to everyone for the support and for this extraordinary opportunity”.

The rider alongside Vietti will be the current SpeedUp rider, Alonso Lopez. This will be his third season in the SpeedUp squad.

“I am really happy to be able to continue another year with the Team SpeedUp family and I thank Luca for the trust he continues to place in me,” Lopez said. “I am determined to close this season in the best possible way and to face the next one with renewed energy, ready to give my all to fight together with this extraordinary team and aim for the world title.

“The bike is exceptional, and I couldn’t wish for a better team to pursue this great goal.”
