It’s official. As previously reported, former 250 and World Superbike champion and 500cc/MotoGP winner Max Biaggi is returning to the paddock as team chief next year, taking over the Schedl Moto3 squad currently running Philipp Oettl.

The announcement in the week before the Malaysian race confirmed that current EG-Honda rider Aron Canet has signed for the team, which will mean switching to a KTM.

Max will join the current rider’s father Peter Oettl, also a former GP winner, in running the renamed Max Racing Team.
