Scot Racing announced it will leave MotoGP, focusing exclusively on the new category Moto2. In a press release, Cyrano Mularoni, director of the 250cc winning team with Hiroshi Aoyama, reveals that the decision is due to Honda's inability to provide a bike for next season due to failure to meet deadlines for applications.
"After the meet by winning the title in the 250cc class, is a big disappointment for me and the whole team that we have no real reward for all the work done over the years," says the news site of the team, adding that "Now we just have to focus on the project for Moto2.
Alex de Angelis had already agreed to compete with the Scot in 2010.
And My Roby is back!! He's racing in Moto2!!

Not a rumour but a confirmation:

Broc Parkes to remain in WSB but with the Echo CRS Honda team who will move up from WSS and run at least one ex-Stiggy Honda.
My thoughts: I'm not Broc's biggest fan although he's a solid WSS runner (opinion vindicated by Cal storming to the title on Broc's former seat) and he did beat Tamada this year. The team was a shower of [proverbials] last year in WSS with Russel Holland and Fabrizio Lai walking out in disgust before half-way but if they've got the ex-Stiggy machines they've got half a start at least. Rumours put Kiyo as possibly a second rider although things aren't clear.
Good look to them, at least! WSB has a strong lineup already and 'surprise' entries like this can only help numbers.
I'm a massive Broc fan tho I realise he isn't likely to be a world champ, he's still a very good rider. Whilst I'm pleased he has a ride for next year (and I think he's a better superbike rider than supersport), I would have preferred him in a strong WSS team than a new likely also-ran WSB team. Hopefully the union proves more fruitful than I fear.
Seems there is now talk of Yoshimura Suzuki out of Japan making the full move to WSBK in 2010.
Only select rounds I believe. Possibly running Kagayama during his weekends off from BSB.Quote:
