Barry Baltus (born 3 May 2004) is a Belgian Grand Prix motorcycle racer currently competing in the 2024 Moto2 World Championship for RW-Idrofoglia Racing GP. [1]
Baltus contested the 2020 season as a full-time rider in the Moto3 World Championship for CarXpert Prüstel GP, despite missing the opening race of the season due to him being under the age limit.
In 2021, Baltus moved to the Moto2 class with NTS RW Racing GP. [2] A free practice crash at the opening round in Qatar resulted in a wrist injury which delayed his race debut until the fifth round in France. [3] A difficult season on the uncompetitive NTS machinery resulted in just one points finish for Baltus, ultimately finishing the season with just 2 points and in 32nd position of the rider's championship. 2022 was a significant improvement, as RW Racing switched to Kalex chassis, and B.Baltus scored 30 points (finishing twice in top 10), gaining experience in Moto2 class.[ citation needed ]
