Review Moto2 2029

Twenty seasons at the heart of the Moto2 World Championship

The year 2010 marked the beginning of the modern Moto2 era. The new intermediate category replaced the 250cc World Championship and introduced a 600cc four-stroke engine, bringing decades of two-stroke competition in the class to an end. Toni Elías became the first Moto2 World Champion at the conclusion of the inaugural season, winning the title with Gresini Racing.

Review Moto2 2029 documents the 2029 season session by session while bringing together the results from the twenty seasons covered by the book, from 2010 to 2029. This dual approach provides detailed coverage of the latest season while preserving a historical archive spanning two decades of the intermediate category of the World Championship.

Over the years, Moto2 has become one of the main stages on the road to MotoGP. Numerous riders who later reached the premier class competed in the category. Marc Márquez won the 2012 title before becoming MotoGP World Champion in his very first premier-class season in 2013. Francesco Bagnaia became Moto2 World Champion in 2018 before later claiming the MotoGP title.

The list of champions and leading riders reflects the depth of Moto2 history: Toni Elías, Stefan Bradl, Pol Espargaró, Johann Zarco, Franco Morbidelli, Francesco Bagnaia, Álex Márquez, Enea Bastianini and many other important figures of the Moto2 generation. The category has also provided a platform for riders such as Tom Lüthi to build particularly long and consistent careers in Grand Prix racing.

Moto2 also has a significant technical history. After its early years with Honda 600cc engines, Triumph became the exclusive engine supplier from 2019, introducing its three-cylinder 765cc engine derived from the Street Triple RS. A further evolution of the Triumph engine is scheduled to enter competition from 2027, providing another stage in the technical development of the category.

At the same time, Moto2 has retained a fundamental characteristic of its identity: a competitive environment with a high degree of technical standardisation, while leaving room for differences in chassis, set-up and the performance of riders and teams. Iconic World Championship circuits such as Jerez, Mugello, Assen, Sachsenring, Silverstone, Misano, Motegi, Phillip Island, Sepang and Valencia provide key reference points throughout this history.

Review Moto2 2029 brings these different dimensions together in a single archive: practice sessions, qualifying, races, results, riders, teams, chassis, circuits and statistics. The book allows readers to find a Grand Prix, compare different seasons, follow a rider’s career or trace the development of chassis manufacturers and successive generations of racing machinery.

Like the other Reviews in the Red Books collection, this book is not simply a journalistic account of the season. It is designed as a physical, structured and lasting archive, preserving the essential data of a category that has played a central role in developing future MotoGP riders since 2010.

With Review Moto2 2029, the collection covers twenty Moto2 seasons, from 2010 to 2029, combining detailed coverage of the 2029 season with a complete archive of the category’s results since its creation.

Twenty seasons. Hundreds of Grands Prix. Generations of champions and future MotoGP riders. An archive of Moto2, from its creation in 2010 to the new generation of the late 2020s.
