2011 Moto2 Entry List
FIM released the provisional Moto2 entry roster for Moto2 on Monday, listing 38 riders for 2011.
This will be the second year for Moto2 competition. In the Moto2 debut year, Toni Elias took the title with Gresini Racing. For 2011, the Spaniard Elias joins the MotoGP field aboard the LCR Honda RC212V.
The big rider news for 2011 Moto2 is the series’ newest rider, Repsol’s Marc Marquez. He graduates to Moto2 after winning the 2010 125cc MotoGP Championship.
The Spaniard has signed a two-year contract with Repsol, which guarantees Marquez "will have all the technical and personnel resources necessary to do battle in such a competitive category as Moto2 within the framework of a solid and stable project."
Since Marquez has entered the World Championship in 2008 at 15-years old, Repsol has been there supporting him. Repsol, an energy company in Spain, exclusively exclusively developed and supplied the fuel and lubricant for the 125cc World Champion from the Repsol Technology Centre located in Móstoles (Madrid).
Repsol says Marquez, 17, of Ververa, Lleida, will compete in Moto2 as the only rider in a Monlau Competition team, with a Suter chassis and a 600cc engine, that supplied by Honda to all the motorcycles in the category.
