Marc Márquez became the Moto2 world champion.

The 2012 FIM Moto2 World Championship was a part of the 64th F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season. Stefan Bradl was the reigning champion, but did not contest in season as he joined MotoGP with LCR Honda. ^[1]

Season summary

Marc Márquez won the Moto2 championship title after a season-long battle with fellow Spanish rider Pol Espargaró; a third-place finish for Márquez at the Australian Grand Prix – despite a win for Espargaró ^[2] – was enough to give him his second world title before moving into the premier class for the 2013 season. ^[3] He took his last victory in the class at the Valencian Grand Prix, the last event of the season, despite starting from 33rd on the grid. This performance, which included overtaking 20 bikes on the first lap alone, meant the biggest comeback in the sport's history. ^[4] Márquez's result was enough to give Suter the constructors' title for the class.
