Morbidelli crowned Moto2™ World Champion
Franco Morbidelli (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) is the 2017 Moto2™ World Champion after wrapping up the crown at Sepang International Circuit. Following a stunning season in which the Italian has taken eight wins, six poles and 11 podiums, the EG 0,0 Marc VDS rider becomes the first Italian Champion in the intermediate class for nearly ten years – the previous being Marco Simoncelli in 2008. From STK600 to Moto2™, Morbidelli has quickly risen to the top and is the first Champion to come from the VR46 Riders Academy.
