Britain's Michael Laverty has been named on the official MotoGP entry list published this morning. No second rider for the Paul Bird team is on the list but there is a space on the grid reserved for a team-mate to the Irishman.

Laverty remains hopeful that Bird and Aprilia will be able to come to an agreement over machinery and he will get the 2014 ART to race next season.

European Superstock 1000 front-runner Nico Canepa will ride for the Ioda team alongide Danilo Petrucci while former 125cc world champion Mike Di Meglio will race for Avintia Blusens alongside Hector Barbera.
