A new 4-stroke MotoGP World Championship class was announced on 11th December 2008 and is set to replace the 250cc category from 2010.

Taking the name of Moto2, this new category is intended to be a prestigious yet cost-effective accompaniment to the premier class of MotoGP.

Some of the key characteristics of this new category of Grand Prix racing are the single engine supplier and a single tyre supplier. Honda Racing Corporation is the chosen engine supplier, while Dunlop provide the tyres. (Source: MotoGP website)
