Pedro Acosta is the 2023 Moto2 world champion.

The future MotoGP rider clinched his second world title in just three seasons of grand prix racing with a runner-up finish in Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix, officially ending the challenge of lone remaining rival Tony Arbolino with two rounds still to go.

"Thanks Pedro!" said Acosta's team manager Aki Ajo. "It has been impressive three years to work with him, the guy which suprise us every day about his matureness and cleverness. Most enjoyable thing is not only to win the two titles [Moto3 and Moto2] together, maybe it’s even more the feeling what we create together with Pedro, his family and the whole team."

Arbolino's slim hopes effectively ended when the Italian ran wide after contact with Ai Ogura and Aron Canet. 

After escaping from a Turn 1 clash that sent Manuel Gonzalez down, SpeedUp's Fermin Aldeguer won his second race in a row with ease. Marcos Ramirez took his first Moto2 podium in third for American Racing.
