2014 provisional Moto3 entry list revealed

The 2014 provisional Moto3 entry list was revealed today, with confirmation that leading KTM duo Alex Rins and Alex Marquez will switch to Honda machinery next season.

With new world champion Maverick Vinales and title challenger Luis Salom both moving to Moto2 next year, many expect Rins and Marquez to be big favourites in next year’s battle, despite their Estrella Galacia 0,0 squad moving to a new Honda project.

Other entries of interest in Moto3 next season sees the return to the Red Bull KTM Ajo squad for British rider Danny Kent.

Kent won two of the last four races in the inaugural 250cc single-cylinder Moto3 class in 2012 but had a torrid time in the Tech 3 Racing Moto2 squad this year.

He will partner highly rated Aussie Jack Miller and Red Bull Rookies Cup champion Karel Hanika.

Scot John McPhee remains with the Racing Team Germany squad on a Honda machine. McPhee will be boosted by the arrival of Rins and Marquez to Honda, with the Japanese factory vowing to put in a renewed effort to break KTM’s domination of the series.

Valentino Rossi’s new Moto3 project, which has backing from Sky TV in Italy, will run Italian duo Ramano Fenati and Francesco Bagnaia on full factory KTM machinery.
