Italian rider Niccolo Canepa is to race for the Scot Racing Team in the 2010 FIM Moto2 World Championship.
Canepa is joining a team which has developed its own bike for next season when Moto2 replaces the FIM 250cc World Championship.
Team owner Cirano Mularoni said: “We are delighted to have Niccolo with us. We asked him to join Scot Racing Team because he’s fast, competitive and, although still very young, already a very experienced rider.
“He competed in MotoGP this year, and in the same class he was test rider the previous season. In our opinion, he’s the right man for a brand new class and a team like ours – we designed our own bike and we are going to develop it day by day, race by race. We are convinced to be able to do a great job together.”
Canepa added: “I’m absolutely pleased with the agreement we signed. And I’m am really happy about the possibility to play a creative role in a working group that has been able to show high potential and capable of great results – this season and in the past.
“A new class, a new bike: it will be a tough job, but with rewarding perspectives. The target is to do well.”
