[visordown.com] - 2015 MotoGP entry list released

[Ninjette Newsbot]

THE FIM has released the confirmed 2015 MotoGP World Championship entry list which comprises of twenty-five riders.

Double MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez is set defend his title with Repsol Honda once again with Dani Pedrosa as his team-mate. Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi also remain with their 2014 team Movistar Yamaha for the 2015 season.

Suzuki and Aprilia have arrived for the 2015 season as new factory teams with Aleix Espargaro and rookie Maverick Vinales representing Suzuki and Alvaro Bautista will front the Aprilia effort with Marco Melandri who is making his return.

Andrea Dovizioso remains with Ducati, but this time with a new team-mate Andrea Iannone who is moving up from their satellite team Pramac Racing.

Briton Cal Crutchlow is set to start his 2015 with CWM LCR on-board a Honda RC213V which is also what Scott Redding will race on, but for the Estrlla Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS team. Another fellow Brit Bradley Smith remains with Herve Poncharal's Monster Yamaha Tech 3 team alongside the younger Espargaro brother Pol.

The much talked about Jack Miller will partner Cal Crutchlow at CWM LCR after making the dramatic and brave move of skipping Moto2 and joining the MotoGP field from Moto3.

Switching from World Superbikes to MotoGP, Eugene Laverty joins the DRIVE M7 Aspar team as a MotoGP rookie along with former WSBK rider Loris Baz who is riding for Forward Racing, Jack Miller and Maverick Vinales.
