Tony Arbolino (born 3 August 2000) is an Italian motorcycle racer currently competing in the 2025 Moto2 World Championship for Pramac Yamaha Moto2 aboard a Boscoscuro. He is a vice-champion in both Moto3 and Moto2, having achieved this feat in 2020 and 2023 respectively. Nicknamed Lo squalo di Garbagnate, for the ability to running very fast on wet circuit.[1][2]

Career

[edit]

Moto3 World Championship

[edit]

Sic58 Squadra Corse (2017)

[edit]

He was signed up to race in the Moto3 World Championship for the SIC58 Squadra Corse team for 2017.[3] He scored two points in the whole season, ending up 34th in the standings.

Snipers Team (2018–2020)

[edit]

A year later he raced for the Marinelli Snipers Team, scoring his first pole position at the second race of the season, at the Termas de Rio Hondo. He scored points in many occasions, including another pole position at Valencia. He finished 18th in the standings.

He continued another year with VNE Snipers Team, scoring his first podium in Argentina. He then made his first career win in Mugello, and also his second later in Assen. He finished on the podium on many other times, ending fourth in the standings. In 2020, Arbolino secured the second place in the 2020 Moto3 World Championship with several podiums to his name and a victory in the penultimate round in Valencia at the 2020 Valencian Community motorcycle Grand Prix.

Moto2 World Championship

[edit]

Liqui Moly Intact GP (2021)

[edit]

In 2021 Arbolino made the switch to the Moto2 class with Liqui Moly Intact GP. His season was slightly inconsistent, achieving four top ten finishes throughout the year with a personal best of fourth achieved at the 2021 French motorcycle Grand Prix, finishing 14th in the standings. For 2022 Arbolino moved to Elf Marc VDS Racing Team with hopes for even better results than in 2021.

Elf Marc VDS Racing Team (2022–2024)

[edit]

Arbolino started the year in great shape with debut front row achieved at the 2022 Qatar motorcycle Grand Prix, just to take his debut victory in the intermediate class at the 2022 Motorcycle Grand Prix of the Americas. Arbolino scored 3 wins and 5 podiums throughout the year, the Italian finished the year sitting fourth in the standings. Arbolino stayed with MarcVDS for the 2023 season. Leading the championship before the summer break, Tony had a chance to become the World Champion, scoring 8 podiums and winning 3 races wasn’t enough to stop Pedro Acosta. He finished second in the standings and he was the favourite to win the championship next season. The reality of challenging for the title straight away was far from what happened. Arbolino was far from his best in the first part of the season, as he struggled to finish in TOP10. A breakthrough podium in Aragón and a maiden Moto2 Pole Position in Misano where the highlights of Arbolino’s 2024 season. Elf Marc VDS Racing Team announced that Jake Dixon and Filip Salač will ride for the team in the 2025 Moto2 World Championship. Arbolino is expected to join Pramac Racing Moto2 project next year.
