Valencia MotoGP: Sito Pons team shows off Kalex Moto2 bike

Former 250GP world champion and leading MotoGP team boss Sito Pons showed off the bike his Spanish squad will campaign in the inaugural Moto2 600cc four-stroke world championship in 2010.

Pons’ team will use a bike designed and built by German-based Kalex Engineering The new bike will be tested immediately after this weekend’s final race in Valencia, though the identity of riders remains shrouded in mystery.

It will be known as the Pons Kalex team. Toni Elias has been the number one target for Pons’ outfit, but he has got twitchy about signing a deal because of recent money issues experienced by Ducati-bouned Hector Barbera.

He recently boycotted the first few minutes of opening practice in Sepang because he had not been paid.
