The Thai Honda PTT SAG team of Ratthapark Wilairot and Hector Faub♍el has swapped from a planned Suter chassis to become the only (full-time) team running a Bimota design in this year's inaugural Moto2 World Championship.

"We had a preliminary agreement with Suter but there were some terms in the final contract with which we did not agree and in the end we have decided to go with Bimota," the official MotoGP website quotes team director Eduardo Perales as sayi༒ng.

"We are pleased because it represents a more direct, more human contact,ඣ and if there are problems it will be much e💫asier to resolve them.

"There will only be [our] two riders using the Bimota frame in the wor💖ld championship. If you are one of twelve then unfortunately i🎐t is always a little more difficult when you raise your hand."

Joining Bimota and Suter in having at least one chassis ꦅon the full-time 2010 Moto2 grid will be Moriwaki, FTR, Tech 3, Promoharris, RS⭕V, Pons Kalex, ICP, ADV, TSR, BQR, Scot and MZ.

The nex💜t official Moto2 test will be held at Jerez from March 27-29.
