Valencia MotoGP: New Italian Moto2 bike unveiled

This is a new Italian contender built for the new Moto2 class that was unveiled in the Valencia paddock yesterday.

Built by Modena-based NCS Rapid Inside, the bike will be exclusively run by the Scot Honda MotoGP squad in the new four-stroke 600cc world championship in 2010.

The bike has completed 600ks track testing at the Mugello circuit in Italy and features a conventional deltabox aluminium chassis and upside down swingarm.

So far Scot bosses, who have also yet to confirm any plans for its 2010 MotoGP effort, have unveiled no details of who will ride the new bike in Moto2, though a leading contender is Hungarian Gabor Talmacsi.

Toni Elias and Alex de Angelis have both been in negotiation about a MotoGP ride next season.
