Moto2 and Moto3 unveil entry lists for 2019

The intermediate class has presented a 32-rider list, featuring returning frontrunners Alex Marquez, Brad Binder, Lorenzo Baldassarri and Luca Marini, as well as Moto3's graduating champion Jorge Martin and his title rival Marco Bezzecchi.

The list also includes MotoGP rider Tom Luthi, who will step back to the intermediate class after a difficult rookie campaign in the premier category with Marc VDS Honda.

While the vast majority of the 2019 rider signings have been announce in advance, the entry list does confirm that Stefano Manzi will partner Dominique Aegerter on Forward's MV Agusta bikes next year.

Lukas Tulovic's full-time Moto2 graduation with Kiefer is also firmed up, after the 18-year-old former ADAC Junior Cup runner-up had two outings with the German team this year.
