If there is a popular team in Moto2, it is Petronas. It must be said that it offers tempting prospects for MotoGP.

The Malaysians therefore had to review their plans. Initially, they will revolve around Xavi Virgo. For the second handlebar, the dilemma between Rossi's brother and defending a national cause is complete...
Xavi Verge is doing well. Dominated by his current teammate, and childhood friend, Alex Marquez within the Marc VDS team, he was condemned to give up his place to Sam Lowes for 2020. Given its current results, its chances of rebound were not high. And yet, here he is promised to the highly prized handlebars of the Petronas team. A team working on its second shift.

His national oil company reminds him that scruples had not stifled him then...
The Malaysian team Petronas Sprinta also reveals its Moto3 squad for 2020. Khairul Idham Pawi (KIP) and John mcphee should ride the Honda NSF 250RW in this category. Pawi riding in Moto2 since 2018 with very limited success, he must now return to the small 250 cc category.
