Peugeot have been looking to enter🎐 the motorcycle world championship for some time, making their initial move by allowing Ind🎉ian Manufacturer Mahindra to purchase a controlling 51% steak in the motorcycle arm of the company.

Mahindra have raced in 125GP/Moto3 since 2011 and next year's Peugeots seem set to be re-badged Mahindras, emulating the KTM-Husqvarna sc༒enario.

The Mahindra-Peugeot partnership has already found success with Marco Bezzecchi winning seven races to secure the Italian Moto3 title and team-mate Fabio Spiranelli fourth overall. B♋ezecchi has had two wild-card ride𓆉s in Moto3 this season.

Mahindra, which formed a new partnership with the Aspar team for 2015, have had limited success th🅷is year - claiming just one podium, by Francesco Bagnaia, at Le Mans.
