For a long time, Moto2 was the less exciting bit between Moto3 and MotoGP. Now it’s showing both of them what racing should be
Moto2 has historically lagged behind Moto3 and MotoGP in terms of excitement and competitiveness, often producing lackluster races. However, in 2025, Moto2 has undergone a transformation, offering thrilling races with a perfect balance of close competition and strategic maneuvers that have been missing in MotoGP.
Championship contenders Canet and Moreira have recently showcased intense battles on track, showcasing different racing styles and strategies. The switch from Dunlop to Pirelli tires in 2024 has enhanced the quality and competitiveness of Moto2 racing by adding the element of tire management and strategic planning.
The current Moto2 season has been particularly compelling, with hopes for continued excitement and competitiveness in the future. In contrast, Moto3 continues to be chaotic but exciting, with multiple riders constantly vying for the victory through aggressive racing and last-minute passes.
MotoGP, on the other hand, has faced criticisms for becoming dull due to technical advancements and race dynamics. However, the series is expected to return to closer racing in 2027 after rule changes and a switch to Pirelli tires. In the meantime, Moto2 shines as the perfect middle ground, providing fans with exciting races and unexpected entertainment.
