Wondering what happened to Roberto Rolfo after he got axed by WSBK team Stiggy Honda to make room for John Hopkins? The Italian rider is going to be back on track with the Siemens Gigaset Laglisse team to take part in the remaining rounds of CEV, the Spanish championship.
Rolfo will be riding the new Moto 2.
The motorcycle mounts a Swiss chassis, built by the specialist Suter; the engine is a Yamaha, but the team is waiting to mount the official Honda engine, the sole supplier for the new Moto2 championship that will be part of the next World Motorcycle Championship 2010.
This is the same motorcycle that Rolfo has been developing in these last months.
Rolfo has also been choosen by Dunlop to develop a tyre for this new racing class.
A series of tests are already scheduled on the Dunlop private circuit, at Miraval, in the South of France.
