Diogo Moreira Clinches 2025 Moto2 Title in Valencia, to Join LCR Honda in 2026

Honda’s multi-year move for the 21-year-old now looks vindicated by his late-season surge.

Overview

  • An 11th-place finish secured the championship for Moreira as rival Manuel Gonzalez pitted with tyre trouble and ended 22nd.
  • Izan Guevara claimed his first Moto2 victory, with Daniel Holgado second and Ivan Ortola third at Valencia.
  • Moreira becomes the first Brazilian two-wheeled world champion.
  • Honda confirmed last month that Moreira will graduate to MotoGP with LCR Honda in 2026.
  • Moreira’s run of eight top-fives in nine starts and a 60-point comeback has reinforced the view that Honda’s reported longer-than-usual multi-year commitment was well judged.
