Claudio Corti, who recently lost his Italtr🐻ans Kalex Moto2 ride to Toni Elias𝔍, looks set to make a surprise MotoGP debut in this weekend's Valencia finale.

The Italian has been named by Inmotec as riding its part carbon-fibre CRT machine as a third Avintia BQR entry, alongside the FTR-Kawasakis of Ivan Silva an🎶d Hiroshi Aoyama. Aoyama is replacing the injured Yonny Hernandez.

Silva rode the Inmotec chassis, also powered♎ by a modified ZX-10R engine, for Avintia in several events earlier this year (pi🐬ctured), before swapping back to the aluminium FTR frame.

"The rider who ride the Inmotec this GP, will be Claudio Corti. Good luck for him this weekend," said a message on Inmotec's official Twitter account, which then clarified: "BQR will have 3 riders: Silva, Corti & Aoyama for the Valencian GP.꧑"

A subsequent press release was issued regarding the last-minute Corti-Inmotec deal, adding that🌠 the bike has been significantly developed - with changes to the fuel😼 tank, fairing, swing-arm and chassis - since it's last grand prix appearance.

25-year-old Italian Corti took his first grand prix podium with a second place finish at the we𝓡t Le Mans race earlier this year.ꦉ 2012 is his third year of world championship racing.

Following his Moto2 exit, after Aragon, Corti f꧂inꦡished a creditable ninth and twelfth for Pedercini Kawasaki in the WSBK finale at Magny-Cours.

Corti is believed to have already secured a full time 2013 MotoGP ride, alongside Colin Edwards at Forwa𒁃rd Racing. Avintia is set to run Aoyama and Hector Barbera in MotoGP ne♛xt year.
