Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS has taken a lot longer to take shape than expected. Though team manager Michael Bartholémy had agreed terms with his chosen rider quite quickly after the summer break, actually getting contracts signed has proven to be a much more difficult affair. Existing contract entanglements and haggling over contract extensions has meant that the original plans, to have Moto2 announced at Misano, and when that didn't happen, all of the team's riders announced after Aragon, have all gone awry.

Slowly, however, the Marc VDS team manager is managing to untangle the knotty web woven mainly by others. After announcing last week that Tito Rabat would be moving up to MotoGP with the team for 2016, this week, the team has announced their Moto2 line up. It comes as no surprise: Alex Marquez is to remain with the team for a second year in Moto2, while Franco Morbidelli is to join Marc VDS from the Italtrans team. After a difficult start to his rookie season, Alex Marquez has come good in the second half, becoming a regular fixture in the top 10. Morbidelli has completely outperformed his teammate Mika Kallio, an impressive feat given that Kallio was runner up in the Moto2 championship in 2014.
