Forward Racing sign up[1] for a pair of Yamaha M1s but run as non-MSMA entries so that's 12 engines, 24l of fuel, spec ECUs but full M1s not just the engine. Although Yamaha will supply 5 engines (with maybe 12 rebuilds). Rumours of Team-USA of Edwards + Hayden. People saying A Espargaro, Rabat, Redding also in the frame.

This is a game changer, no? Hayden on a 24L Yamaha M1 ought to be top 6, I think.
