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.
