The Moto2 riders head to Indonesia after an exciting race in Japan. Daniel Holgado held off Jake Dixon by 1.3 seconds. Next up will be the Indonesia race on October 5th. With five races left in the season, the champion is far from academic and the podium certainly is not. Next, we look at Moto2 2025 Best Bets worth taking that plunge for along with the usual updates.
So at the end of September, there is a little good news that at least Moto2 has a race still going for the title. Again, we congratulate Marc Márquez as he clinched his first world title since before the pandemic. However, this opens a few avenues and opportunities. At VegasBetting, we take a look at those pesky Moto2 numbers which may have been under the radar up until this time.
We have quite a few Las Vegas betting site bonuses, as October beckons. Alright, let us dive into MotoGP online betting odds:
| Moto2 World Championship |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manuel Gonzalez | -1000 | -900 | -1200 |
| Diogo Moreira | +600 | +700 | +600 |
| Aron Canet | +5000 | +5000 | +4500 |
| Barrus Baltus | +20000 | +20000 | +20000 |
Once Marquez clinched, we knew already that we were going from MotoGP to Moto2 quickly. Moto2 2025 Best Bets wonders what may happen next. Simply, Daniel Holgado has gotten on a roll with two wins in his last three races. However, time is not on his side. The reason why he is not listed in the odds is the simple fact that he is 85 points off the top spot with five races left.
However, a podium spot is still very much possible. Aron Canet is in third just 36 points up on Holgado. Some wonder what might have been with the Spanish rider. The middle stretch of the season was brutal. Holgado finished 10th or worse in seven straight races which derailed any chances of winning a championship. He has ended up fourth or better in five of the last six events.
Also, there is Barry Baltus. Baltus cannot quite win a race this season. He has five second place finishes but no wins. It is the main reason why he is fourth in the championship standings for now. There is a reason why Baltus is +20000 almost everywhere. It is difficult to win a title when one cannot even win a race. Can he find a way to do so at least a couple times over the final five races? That seems like a tall order.
Thankfully, the Moto2 race has heated up a little. However, this division does not get quite the boost like the main event. Despite this, there are some ways to potentially cash in on what could become more competitive. Yes, we are talking about who may wind up on the World Championship podium come November after the last race in Spain.
The Moto2 2025 best bets and Manuel Gonzalez comes to the forefront. Riders get in small slumps often in these divisions but for the most part the Spanish rider has avoided them. Gonzalez has finished no worse than sixth in eight of the previous nine races (one retirement). He also leads the division with four wins. It is a big reason why he has a 34 point cushion currently.
Yes, there have been some struggles. In Japan, Gonzalez had to take a long lap penalty after causing a collision. It dropped him to the edge of the Top 10. He fought his way back to fifth. Again, the Liqui Moly rider does this often. This is what has separated him from the rest of the pack. The five additional podiums help as well.
This Moto2 2025 season could get turned on its heels. Maybe the better question is the podium eventually but, for now, Gonzalez is a big favorite to hold on and win the title. He is the only driver with time on his side. Having a 1+ race cushion in points over his nearest competitor plays a huge role in how the other contenders race.
The Moto2 2025 Best Bets ask could Diogo Moreira or Aron Canet win the title? While Canet was the contender to most likely take the throne earlier in the season, that is not the case after the San Marino and Japan events. It has been a drop-off since Catalonia to be honest. Qualifying efforts have not been quite there and it does seem Canet has lost something in the practice sessions.
With success ever elusive, that may be the other thing going against Canet. In 2019, he lost the Moto3 World Championship after several retirements (DNF’s). His 2025 season seemed to go a little sideways after Czechia where he DNF’d. Last year, he did win three of the final six events though. Canet cannot be counted out just yet.
Like we mentioned, with championship odds fading away for some, there is Moreira who is still around +600 (Canet is in the +4500 to +5000 range). Moreira has had some issues himself. He has two wins but even his margin of error is not very high. Another double digit finish or two would pretty much end his chances.
Keep in mind that Moreira may be the only one besides Gonzalez and Holgado to win multiple races down the stretch. Bluntly, he cannot have any missteps and that +600 could lengthen some if he does not get a podium result in Indonesia this weekend.
Moto2 heads into the Fall. So, before the Portugal-Valencia end, there is more Far East racing. Check out our updated Vegas news and picks.
