Twelve rounds into the 2025 Moto2 World Championship, the picture of the season is slowly starting to take shape. It began as a wide-open field but sharpened into a few important storylines.
González is building his championship campaign through consistency, while Canet mixes brilliant moments with a few forgettable ones. With ten races still to go, the battle is far from over — but some trends are already defining the year.
Here’s how the key riders have fared, and what it means for the battles still to come.
González Quietly Leading
González may not always steal the headlines, but he has been the most consistent rider of the season so far. Rarely out of the points and often near the front, he sits atop the standings with 188 points.
It’s not outright dominance, but it’s steady and reliable; and that’s what wins championships. His Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP squad has delivered him a strong package, as proven by teammate Agius, who currently sits seventh in the standings.
Fantic Teammates on the Chase
If González is quiet consistency, then Canet is like a firework. The Spaniard has been the headline-maker of the year with his aggressive, fast, and sometimes risky style. When it works, it works brilliantly; when it doesn’t, it costs him.
His teammate Baltus has also impressed, sitting third in the standings. Together, they’ve propelled Fantic Racing LINO SONEGO to the top of the Teams’ Championship, leading Liqui Moly by 16 points. If Canet can keep his composure, the fight with González could go right down to the wire.
Moreira and Dixon With Mixed Results
Brazilian Moreira has been one of the season’s revelations. After settling into the Moto2 paddock last year, his patience paid off with a historic first win at Assen. It wasn’t first just for him, but for his country too: Brazil now has its first-ever Moto2 race winner. That breakthrough, combined with several strong results, has lifted him to fourth in the standings.
In contrast, Dixon’s campaign has been a story of frustration. The British rider has the speed to run at the front but has failed to put together a consistent string of results. Unless he finds stability in the final ten rounds, he risks 2025 being another “what if” season.
The Younger Generation Makes Their Mark
The younger generation is shining, too. Agius, although often overshadowed by González, already has three podiums to his name and looks capable of finishing the year inside the top five.
Öncü, meanwhile, is proving both thrilling and unpredictable. Two wins and one runner-up spot show his raw speed, but inconsistent results have kept him from climbing higher in the standings. Still, it’s only his second Moto2 season, and the Turkish rider looks like a star in the making.
Big Names in Big Struggles
Not everyone is enjoying success. López had been considered a real threat in the past, but slipped down the order this year. His teammate, Vietti, has shown similar results, yet sits in P8 in the standings as opposed to López down in P14.
Perhaps the biggest disappointment for me has to be Arbolino. In his previous seasons, he had been a title contender twice already. Now, he is down in 17th place with just 34 points and a single podium to show for his efforts. His decline highlights the unpredictability of Moto2, where nothing is guaranteed.
Team’s Championship Battle
Fantic Racing leads the Teams’ standings, thanks to Canet and Baltus both running inside the top three. Liqui Moly is close behind though, with González carrying the bigger portion of the points and Agius adding in reliably.
Elf Marc VDS Racing Team sits third, while Italtrans Racing and American Racing complete the top five. All three are 100+ points behind the leaders. The fight for teams now looks like a straight duel between Fantic and Liqui Moly.
What Can We Look Forward To?
With ten races remaining, everything is still to play for. González may hold the advantage, but Canet is only a win away from closing the points gap. Baltus, Moreira, and Agius are tightly bunched behind, ready to fight for P3 or even better.
Momentum has shifted several times already this year, and in Moto2, one weekend can change the entire season. The message is clear at this stage, though: González is in control, Fantic is coming on strong, and there are multiple riders who need to start catching up immediately.
