Manuel Gonzalez is Moto2 Vice World Champion of 2025

A bitter battle for the world championship title, which lasted until the grand finale in Valencia, finally ended with the runner-up title for long-time favourite Manuel Gonzalez. The German racing team LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP also secured the team runner-up title thanks to the strong performances of both riders. Senna Agius rounded off the successful end to the season with 7th place in the final race.

Over 22 intense race weekends, Manuel Gonzalez consistently maintained his position at the top of the riders' standings. An impressive nine podium finishes, including four victories and seven pole positions, underline the Spaniard's impressive season record. Although his chances of winning the title were slim before the season finale in late summer conditions in Valencia, trailing by 24 points, the 23-year-old fought hard in front of his home crowd to achieve the best possible result. After a solid start from fifth position, Gonzalez held sixth place for a long time before struggling with declining grip in the middle of the race. He gradually lost ground, went wide several times and finally had to return to the pits four laps before the end. With a new tyre, he rejoined the race to finish his extremely successful season on the track and together with his fans. With a total of 257 points and a deficit of 29 points behind Diogo Moreira – whom the team congratulates on winning the title – "ManuGasss" contributed significantly to the team's success and the runner-up title in the team standings. Manuel Gonzalez and the LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP Team will continue to fight for the world championship title together in 2026.

Senna Agius had an equally impressive season. The young Australian shone in his second Moto2 year with two wins and two third places. But even beyond his visible successes, the 20-year-old impressed with his steady development and growing experience in handling his Kalex. With these insights, he wants to fight for top places even more often in the 2026 season. The tenth-placed rider in the world championship confirmed his progress at the season finale in Valencia: after a strong qualifying session and third place on the front row of the grid, Agius fought for a long time for a place in the top three, but also lost grip during the race, eventually crossing the finish line in eighth place and being promoted to seventh after the race due to a time penalty for Filip Salac.

The LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP Team bids farewell to the Circuit Ricardo Tormo as team vice-world champions of the 2025 season – the most successful season in the team's history. The German racing team would like to thank the entire team for their tireless efforts, fighting spirit and continuous development throughout the season. Special thanks also go to the sponsors and partners whose loyal support made this historic team success possible.

"It was a bit of a nightmare, unfortunately. We had a good start and a good mentality; expectations were clearly set for winning the race today. In the first few laps, I followed Izan Guevara and Dani Holgado and remained very calm. But then I had problems with the tyre, which ultimately had disastrous consequences. I just tried to get the bike to the finish line and not crash after having some massive moments. The left side of the tyre was worn out. It doesn't feel fair because this weekend I did most of the laps at a good rhythm in a long time, and the pace was strong too. The guys in the garage worked so well and the bike was really good here, which led to our strong qualifying performance. I really can't believe the season is ending like this because of something beyond our control."

"It's disappointing because I could have fought for my third win of the season. I know what I'm capable of, and we can do it so that I can end the season on a high note in my head. Once again, a big thank you to Jürgen, Stefan, and Wolfgang for giving me the opportunity to be here, because without them I wouldn't have gotten this far. I really felt their support this year, and they believed in me during difficult moments. On the other hand, the good moments motivate us for the future. Now we're going home and set for next year. I have a lot to do in the winter. Fortunately, that keeps me busy so I can come back in good shape in 2026. Finally, I would also like to thank everyone involved in this project for their work and help this year."

"When you put all your energy into chasing your dreams but then, at a crucial moment, you don't get the chance to fight for them, it's really hard to accept. On the starting grid, I still had a big smile on my face and was in a really good position. I was enjoying every moment because all I wanted was to finish the race successfully, fight hard, and show how I ride a motorcycle. But I didn't get the chance. We had problems from the first lap because something wasn’t good with the rear tyre, even though I tried to adapt. But from one lap to the next, the tyre was completely destroyed. So, it was impossible to ride with it, and I had to stop in the pits. At that point, unfortunately, it was all over. But I told my guys to change the tyre because we had to finish the race. I wanted to thank everyone who works for me and helps me every time. At first, I also thought about finishing the race with the destroyed tyre, but that would have been a bit dangerous."

"I don't know how to describe my feelings, because events like that in the last race aren't really nice. But we'll keep fighting and improving, just as I've done my whole life. We'll also keep working to make this dream come true. We're very close to the top and have had a fantastic season. So, we'll just keep going and improve for next season. That's all. On the other hand, I am 100 percent satisfied with what I have achieved this season. I have no regrets, neither on my part nor on the part of the team. I am happy with everything; we fought for the championship until the end and everyone who supported me always gave their best. So, I have no regrets. I would also like to thank everyone for everything they have done for me. We will go into the next season with even more motivation, that's for sure. We know what we have achieved and we know what we are capable of, what we can achieve. And we will learn from the difficult moments."

Jürgen Lingg

Team Manager

"First of all, we are delighted to have had our most successful season since the team was founded. Nine wins and a total of 27 podium finishes in Moto2, Moto3 and MotoE, as well as numerous pole positions, are something we can be proud of. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to the entire team, because everyone has always done a great job. The best thing is that we will continue with the same riders in Moto2 next year. We are already looking forward to it and it will definitely be very interesting. Moto2 is not a sure-fire success, as we all know, but we are happy that things are continuing in this vein. Our team has done a great job and we have a great atmosphere within the team."

"As far as today's race is concerned, we obviously had to take a certain risk, as there was still a mini chance of winning the title. On the other hand, second place was guaranteed. Unfortunately, the risk didn't quite pay off. But we can live with the fact that we won the runner-up title in the riders' championship with Manu and second place in the team championship. Both riders gave their all in the race. Senna had a good speed, maybe even a bit better than Manu. But both had to fight extremely hard, which is why they had higher tyre wear. Senna, however, suffered the drop a bit earlier than his direct opponents, which is why he didn't make it onto the podium. Despite everything, it was a strong performance from Senna, so we have to be satisfied."
