German ace Henry Jacobi has clinched a deal with the SM Action Yamaha team as he makes the move from MX2 to MXGP for the 2020 season.

The team claims it has support direct from the Yamaha factory as the squad also moves up from the MX2 series.

Jacobi was team-mate of Adam Sterry at the F&H Kawasaki team in 2019 and had several clashed, both on and off-track.
