Maverick Vinales won the Moto 2 race at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia ahead of Marc VDS team mates Mika Kallio and Tito Rabat. With his third place finish, Tito Rabat, is the 2014 Moto 2 World Champion! Will he step up to MotoGP next year? We shall see. Johann Zarco, Dominique Aegerter, Julian Simon, Sandro Cortese, Tom Luthi, Jonas Folger, and Marcel Schrotter, completed the top ten.
26 riders were classified finishers. The seven DNF's went to Franco Morbidelli, Sam Lowes, Axel Pons, Hafizh Syahrin, Louis Rossi, Takaaki Nakagami (a former Moto 2 winner), and Ratthapark Wilairot, while Gino Rea did not even complete the first lap of the race.

In Moto 3, Efren Vazquez came through and won his second career Moto 3 event. Jack Miller and Alex Rins rounded out the podium, with Jack Miller, either already clinching, or about to clinch the Moto 3 world championship, before he moves straight to MotoGP next year, bypassing Moto 2 altogether.
