Barry Baltus (born 3 May 2004) is a Belgian Grand Prix motorcycle racer.[1]

Career

Moto3 World Championship

Baltus contested the 2020 season as a full-time rider in the Moto3 World Championship for CarXpert Prüstel GP, despite missing the opening race of the season due to him being under the age limit.

Moto2 World Championship

In 2021, Baltus moved to the Moto2 class with NTS RW Racing GP.[2] A free practice crash at the opening round in Qatar resulted in a wrist injury which delayed his race debut until the fifth round in France.[3] A difficult season on the uncompetitive NTS machinery resulted in just one points finish for Baltus, ultimately finishing the season with just 2 points and in 32nd position of the rider's championship.
