Moto3: Max Biaggi doubles up: two riders in 2020

Max Biaggi doubles up and will add two riders to his Moto3 team next year. The Corsair entered the World Championship with a bang, with Aron Canet fighting for the title and currently 2nd in the rankings with only one point from Lorenzo Dalla Porta.

As they say, an appetite comes with eating, and Biaggi has decided to increase his team's presence on the track by 2020. Certainly, he'll no longer have Canet with him, who has already signed with Team Aspar, switching over to Moto2, and Max would like to focus on a couple of young riders. KTM was confirmed as the motorcycle.

Instead, Moto3 risks losing a historical figure like Fiorenzo Caponera, team manager of Bester Capital Dubai, on which Migno and Masia race. For the Italian team manager, this could be the last season in the world championship. Caponera won two World Championships in the 125, the first with Roberto Locatelli (when the team belonged to Vasco Rossi) in 2000, and in 2002 with Arnaud Vincent. Many talents have switched from his team: from Marco Simoncelli to Andrea Iannone, from Roberto Rolfo to Jonas Folger, just to name a few.
