Updated 2003 MotoGP entry list.

The FIM has today released an updated version of the 2003 entry list for the MotoGP World Championship.

The changes to the list released on the 13th of December are that the Pons team is now officially called Camel Pramac Pons [having dropped Honda from the title], while Suzuki appears to have given up on finding a title sponsor and will now be known as Suzuki Grand Prix Team.

Also without a title sponsor are the WCM team, who have confirmed their bike will be called a Harris WCM and that Ralf Waldmann and Chris Burns will be their riders.

As expected, Kawasaki will continue to fund their race team themselves, while the Yamaha D'Antin outfit appears to have lost Antena 3 backing.

The only good news on the sponsor front is for Aprilia, who have named Italian telecommunications company Alice - who had limited coverage on their 2002 machines - as their new title sponsor.

Both Colin Edwards [pictured] and Noriyuki Haga will now be racing under the Alice Aprilia Racing banner.

The final change since the previous list was released is in the Ducati camp. The MotoGP newcomers were registered as Marlboro Ducati back in December, but this has now changed to Ducati Marlboro Team - no reason has been given, but the change does mirror Marlboro's backing of Ferrari, where the Italian team insist on having its name first.
