2019 Moto2 World Championship
The 2019 FIM Moto2 World Championship was the intermediate class of the 71st Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) Road Racing World Championship season. Francesco Bagnaia was the reigning series champion but he was unable to defend his title as he joined the series' premier class, MotoGP.
Álex Márquez became the Moto2 World Champion of 2019 seeing for the second time both Márquez brothers claiming championships in the same year in their respective classes with Marc Márquez winning his 6th premier class title. Despite finishing the final race in Valencia outside the points, Márquez secured his title with over ten podium finishes with five of them in 1st place securing his championship ahead of Brad Binder by three points.
All the bikes used series-specified Dunlop tyres and Triumph 765cc 3-cylinder engines.
The season saw the introduction of a new engine package. The Honda CBR600RR inline-4 engine package, which was used since the inaugural season of Moto2 in 2010, was replaced by a 765 cc (46.7 cu in) inline-3 engine manufactured by Triumph Motorcycles. It is based on the engine of the Triumph Street Triple RS 765. Due to availability constraints on the new Moto2 2019 engine, and the fact that there will be no machines of this specification in other championships, teams agreed to halt Moto2 wildcard entries for 2019.
This class and Moto3 also adopted the qualifying format used by MotoGP for the season, in which the riders that placed 15th or lower on combined times in the third free practice session would be admitted to qualifying 1, then the four fastest riders from that session would join the fastest 14 riders in qualifying 2.
The season saw the introduction of a new penalty called the "Long Lap" penalty for infractions such as exceeding track limits or engaging in reckless riding. At each circuit, a route is to be defined and marked at a safe point around the circuit (usually an asphalt run-off area outside of a turn). The penalised rider must ride through the defined area within 3 laps of being notified, thereby suffering a penalty equivalent typically to 2 or more seconds on that lap.
The following Grands Prix took place during the season:
Points were awarded to the top fifteen finishers. A rider had to finish the race to earn points.
