Troubled MotoGP team Forward Yamaha have confirmed they will return to the series at the Brno round after consultation from series owner Dorna, IRTA and some sponsors.
The team are not competing at Indy after boss Giovanni Cuzari was arrested in Switzerland on tax and fraud charges, among others. After the loss of lead rider Stefan Bradl to Aprilia, the team have been in crisis talks and have gathered the necessary resources to continue on with Loris Baz and Claudio Corti.
"Thanks to DORNA and IRTA and some partners and sponsors, who despite the objective concerns, they continued to support us – today we are proud to announce that we will get back on track, in both categories, from the bwin Grand Prix České republiky," said a team statement.
"In MotoGP Loris Baz will ride the Yamaha Forward alongside his new teammate Claudio Corti, who will replace Stefan Bradl. For the Italian rider this is a return in the premier class of motorcycle racing, after the Sachsenring race in July, where he replaced the injured Stefan Bradl. Corti has already been with Forward in 2010 in Moto2 riding a Suter bike and in 2013 in MotoGP with Colin Edwards riding a FTR-Kawasaki.
"In Moto2 we are proud to confirm the Italian duo composed by Simone Corsi and Lorenzo Baldassarri on Kalex."
