Augusto Fernandez has been crowned as the 2022 Moto2 world champion, while team-mate Pedro Acosta signed off his rookie season with victory in the Valencia finale.

Fernandez began the title decider with a 9.5-point lead over Ai Ogura, soon reduced to just 0.5 points as Ogura climbed to second behind Tony Arbolino in the early stages.

The race gradually turned in Fernandez's favour with an early exit for a combative Alonso Lopez followed by a fall for Cameron Beaubier, riding in his final grand prix before returning to America.

But the defining moment came when Ogura, locked in battle with Acosta, lost the front of his Kalex under braking for Turn 8 with 18 laps to go, confirming Fernandez as champion.

With the pressure off, Fernandez joined Acosta in passing Arbolino. The Ajo riders remained in close formation to the finish, with Acosta just out of reach.

Fernandez will move up to MotoGP with the Tech3 GASGAS team next season.
