As for Cudlin, he will race on in place of Alex de Angelis within the Iodaracing Project team, riding the ART entry after suffering a non-finish at the Australian grand prix last weekend.

The pair will join Australia’s MotoGP regular Jack Miller (LCR Honda) on the grid, while Josh Hook (Technomag Racing Interwetten) makes his third Moto2 start and Remy Gardner (CIP Mahindra) continues his rookie Moto3 campaign.
