American Colin Edwards will partner Briton James Toseland at Tech 3 Yamaha next season in a line-up featuring two former Superbike world champions, the MotoGP team said.

Edwards, the 2000 and 2002 world Superbike champion, was team-mate to Valentino Rossi at the main FIAT Yamaha works team this year but has been replaced by Spain's 250cc world champion Jorge Lorenzo.

Toseland is the reigning Superbike champion as well as winning that title in 2004.
