22 Sam Lowes

ELF MARC VDS RACING TEAM 101 POINTS
One of two fast twins , Sam Lowes progressed to Moto2™ via the World Supersport Championship , which he won in 2013 . The Englishman claimed his first Grand Prix win at the start of 2015 at the Circuit of the Americas with the Speed Up squad . A switch to Gresini Racing and a Kalex chassis brought about two more wins and four further podiums in 2016 . A subsequent move to MotoGP™ with Aprilia quickly turned sour . He endured two tough seasons in Moto2™ in 2018 and 2019 , but a call up to Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS has reinvigorated the Englishman in 2020 , when he scored three straight wins . He ’ s a title contender again this year .

72 Marco Bezzecchi

SKY RACING TEAM VR46 153 POINTS
A full-time debut arrived for Bezzecchi in 2017 , when he contested the year aboard the underpowered CIP Mahindra machine . He moved to the PruestelGP KTM squad for 2018 and fought for the championship , scoring three wins and six further podiums along the way . He endured a baptism of fire in his rookie Moto2™ campaign aboard an uncompetitive KTM chassis , but a switch to the Sky Racing VR46 team and Kalex hardware for 2020 resulted in two Moto2™ race wins and four further podiums . He should be a title contender again in 2021 .
