Romagnoli made the shock announcement at the Sepang GP citing that he wanted to return to the more technical aspects in a team.

Romagnoli will crew chief for DeRosa, while Gary Reynders, the apple of discord between Colin Edwards and James Toseland has been moved to the Moto2 team to make room for Ben Spies crew chief, Tom Houseword.
