00:00The jump from Moto3 to Moto2 is arguably the toughest a rider will ever have to try and overcome
00:09and that's because of three key reasons. Let me take you through them. The first one and the big
00:15one is physicality. The change in physicality from riding a Moto3 bike to a Moto2 bike is huge.
00:24The combined weight 65 kilos heavier. The horsepower over double. The brakes far bigger as well meaning
00:34that the stopping power of a Moto2 machine is far greater than that of a Moto3. The second one is
00:42tyres. Much bigger profile in Moto2 meaning that you have to ride to the bike and extract flap times
00:49in a much different way. Riding style the lines you take on a circuit themselves are very very
00:58different on a Moto2 bike when you compare it to Moto3. Moto3 all about corner speed whereas as a
01:05result of the extra power the extra stopping power Moto2 is so much more about getting the bike stop
01:11getting the bike turned and then making sure that you can fire out of the corners. And the final one
01:17is style of racing. It might seem an obvious one but the step from Moto3 to Moto2 means that young
01:25riders are now racing against riders with a greater age, a greater maturity and a greater experience at
01:36this level as well. It means the times at the top are so so narrow. In qualifying the smallest of
01:43mistakes
01:43can have big consequences as to where you qualify and then the race itself. A Moto3 race you might be
01:50able to tell is very different to that of a Moto2 race. So there you go three key reasons as
01:57to why
01:57the step from Moto3 to Moto2 is the most challenging that a rider will ever face in his professional career.
