Peugeot have bee🌃n looking to enter the motorcycle world championship for some time, making their initial move by allowing Indian 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-bad🎀ged Mahindras, emulating the KTM-Hu🅺sqvarna scenario.

The Mahindra-Peugeot partnership has already found succes🔥s with Marco Bezzecchi winning seven races to secure the Italian Moto3 title and team-mate Fabio Spiranelli fourth overall. Bezecchi has had two wild-card rides in Moꩲto3 this season.

Mahindra, which formed a new partnership with the Aspar team for 2015, have had limited success this ye🅠a𝔉r - claiming just one podium, by Francesco Bagnaia, at Le Mans.
