In six races, Raffin achieved 10 points and 22nd in the standings. In the same year he won the FIM CEV Moto2 European Championship.
In 2019, Raffin joined the inaugural MotoE World Cup with the German Dynavolt Intact GP team. He collected 47 points and finished the season in 8th. Raffin also had eight replacement rider entries in the Moto2 season, one with the Intact GP team and seven with RW Racing GP. Having impressed in his replacement entries with RW, Raffin was signed by the team to make his full-time return to Moto2 for 2020.
