It was confirmed last week that Japanese rider Nozane had lost his current GRT Yamaha seat for next year, with the satellite team electing for an all-new rider line-up comprising MotoGP convert Remy Gardner and World Supersport champion Dominique Aegerter.
But now the Iwata brand has handed Nozane - the 2020 All-Japan Superbike champion - an unexpected chance to continue his career on the global stage with a seat at the Yamaha VR46 Master Camp team in Moto2.
