# Barry Baltus

Barry Baltus (born 3 May 2004) is a Belgian Grand Prix motorcycle racer currently competing in the 2025 Moto2 World Championship for Fantic Racing.

## 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. 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. 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. 2022 was a significant improvement, as RW Racing switched to Kalex chassis, and B.Baltus scored 30 points (finishing twice in top 10), gaining experience in Moto2 class.
