Stefan Bradl leaves Forward Racing, switches over to Aprilia MotoGP Team

It was confirmed on Friday that (31/7/15) that Forward Racing and Stefan Bradl have parted ways by mutual consent with immediate effect. Then 24 hours later (1/8/15) Bradl agreed to ride for the Aprilia Racing Team Gresini for the rest of the 2015 MotoGP season.



With Forward Racing will miss the next round at Indianapolis as it regroups following the arrest of team boss Giovanni Cuzari. And with Forward Racing are hoping they will return at Brno with new funding in place after some of the team sponsors cancelling contracts, which include rumours that title sponsor Athina to be among the brands that have left Forward. Forward ultimately made the decision to allow Bradl to leave.

Bradl takes the bike vacated by Marco Melandri, who was sacked last month and then ridden by Aprilia test-rider Michael Laverty in the last round at the Sachsenring. Stefan Bradl will ride alongside Alvaro Bautista at Aprilia Racing Team Gresini for the rest of the season.
