Olivier Jacque will return to the MotoGP paddock, with Moriwaki, for the 16th and final round of the 2004 MotoGP world championship season, at Valencia on October 31.

The French former 250cc world champion was a GP regular with Yamaha before being dropped at the end of the 2003 season. Jacque was then offered a ride with the part-time Moriwaki Honda team after Andrew Pitt took up an offer to return to World Supersport.

"I am excited and felling very positive about the race," said Olivier, who will be making his second start with the team after finishing 11th at Motegi. "In the Japanese Grand Prix I was able to claim some points for the team and, although there is still a lot to do to catch our rivals, the felling and potential of the machine is going in the right direction.

"I look forward to enjoying the race and hopefully claiming some more points for the highly motivated Moriwaki team. I also can't wait to race in Europe again," Jacque concluded.

Valencia will be Moriwaki's fifth MotoGP start in the 2004 season.
