Lorenzo Baldassarri has become a common sight at the sharp end of Moto2 and switching to the Pon✱s HP40 squad for 2018 he is being touted as a strong title contender.

With a sure fitting in the intermediate class, Baldassarri returns this season fully fit and tipped as a leading K𓆉alex rider to go against the emerging package of Red Bull KTM.

Consistency and staying injury-free will be Baldassarri’s main focus having demonstrated his talents in short spells in recent years but with an experie🥃nced team around h✨im the Italian is likely to have the tools for a title tilt in 2018.
