2014 MOTO2 PROVISIONAL ENTRY LIST

There are currently 35 entrants in the class, and the good news for Aussie fans is that Anthony West has retained his seat with the QMMF Racing Team, but remains one of the few Moto2 entrants to still be running the Speed Up chassis.

The bulk of the field is now split between Kalex and Suter chassis, but the 2014 season will see Caterham enter the class, running a Suter-based frame for riders Josh Herrin and Moto2 regular, Johann Zarco. Moriwaki is gone, with the rest of the field running either FTR, Tech 3 or Motobi frames.

The sole Aussie in the Moto2 class, at least at this stage, West finished this year's championship in 15th place. His team mate in the Qatar-backed QMMF for 2014 had yet to be confirmed at time of posting.

New faces for season 2014 include American Josh Herrin, World Supersport champion Sam Lowes, Lorenzo Baldassari, Robin Mulhauser (who rode one round this year), Alessandro Nocco (who wins the award for wildest Moto2 haircut!) and this year's Moto3 championship second runner-up, Luis Salom.
