The current Moto3 leader, Joan Mir, has already decided on his future. From 2018, the Spaniard will be in Moto2 with the Marc VDS team, having announced at Barcelona that he has signed a 3-year contract.

Mir, who is racing in team Leopard colours this season, is one of the most promising young talents and has been selected to take the place of Morbidelli, who is expected to move to MotoGP.

"We've had our eye on Joan for quite some time, first in CEV and then in Moto3  - commented team manager Michael Bartholemy - We saw right at the start of last year that he had the talent, drive and determination to be a championship contender and he's proved us right this season. I am looking forward to welcoming him into the team and I am confident that the combination of his talent and our technical staff will ensure a smooth and rapid transition from Moto3 championship contender to Moto2 frontrunner."
