In the MotoGP class, Ducati secured its second consecutive Constructors' Championship.

In the Moto3 class, Pedro Acosta won the Riders' Championship after main title rival Dennis Foggia crashed on the last lap after being hit by Darryn Binder. Acosta became the first rookie rider to win a World Championship since Loris Capirossi who won the 125cc championship in 1990. Acosta is also the second youngest rider ever to win a world championship, just one day older than Capirossi.
