The Thai Honda PTT SAG team of Ratthapark Wilairot and Hector Faubel has swapped from a planned Suter🃏 chassis tꦅo 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 Bimo♐ta," the official MotoGP website quotes team director Eduardo Perales as saying.

"We are pleased because it represents a more dire▨ct, more human contact, and if there are problems it will be much easier to resolve them.

"There will only be [our] two riders using the Bimota frame in the world championship. If you are one of twelve then unfortunately it i𒊎s always a little more difficult w🐠hen you raise your hand."

Joining Bimota 🦩and Suter in having at least one chassis on the full-time 2010 Moto2 grid will be Mဣoriwaki, FTR, Tech 3, Promoharris, RSV, Pons Kalex, ICP, ADV, TSR, BQR, Scot and MZ.

The ✱next official Moto2 test will be held at Jerez from March 27-29.
