2017 Moto2 World Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 86.188.22.74 (talk) at 07:39, 8 October 2018 (Riders changes: Kiefer Racing lost the Leopard sponsorship at the end of the 2016 season, so the team's proper name should be used here.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Franco Morbidelli secured the Riders' Championship at the Malaysian Grand Prix.

The 2017 Moto2 season was a part of the 69th F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season. Johann Zarco was the reigning series champion but he wasn’t defending his title as he joined the series' premier class, MotoGP.

The season was marred by the death of Stefan Kiefer (boss of Kiefer Racing) in Malaysia.
