Overview
- The Brazilian secured the crown by finishing 11th when only 14th was required at Valencia, as a chaotic race and Manuel González’s late error and bike trouble blunted the challenge.
- He erased a 61-point deficit after the French GP, took the lead in Malaysia, and boosted momentum with victory at Portimão.
- The final standings show 286 points for Moreira, 29 clear of González, after four wins in 2025.
- The season finale featured incidents and penalties, including double long-lap sanctions for Álex Escrig and Aron Canet, crashes for Sérgio Garcia, Eric Fernández and Héctor Garzó, and a win for Izan Guevara over Daniel Holgado and Iván Ortola.
- The title precedes a confirmed step up to MotoGP in 2026 with Honda’s LCR team alongside Johann Zarco, marking Brazil’s return to the premier class for the first time since Alexandre Barros.
