Just yesterday we revealed that RSM Scot Racing was having economic problems and that Rapid Inside NCS had announced the end of their cooperation with the team (they supplied the frame) and that a court order had been issued and that the Sammarinese team was at risk of skipping this weekend’s Brno GP.

However Mularoni’s Moto2 team seems to have momentarily solved their woes and will be present in the Czech Republic and according to today’s press release Niccolò Canepa will be riding a full fledged Moto2 Suter Racing bike instead of their GP210 Force machine.

Emanuele Ventura (Technical Director): “Suter assured us a competitive bike, updated with all the solutions resulting from the experience collected in the first part of the Championship. It is a new bike for us, but Suter technical personnel will support our crew at this GP, to minimise the time necessary to us to study it and allow Niccolò to ride at his best”.

There is no mention if they will be replacing Andrew Pitt (the unlucky Aussie rider broke his collarbone in three places during race 2 of the BSB Championship round at Brands Hatch last weekend) who was supposed to make his Moto2 debut at Brno in place of Alex de Angelis who is currently subbing for injured Hiroshi Aoyama in MotoGP.

That Moto2 RSM Team Scot is having economic woes isn’t exactly new news, however the San Marino based team who fields former MotoGP riders Niccolò Canepa and Alex de Angelis, who is currently subbing for Hiroshi Aoyama in Daniel Epp’s MotoGP Interwetten team may not make it for the upcoming Czech GP and may even have to drop out of the rest of the Moto2 racing season.

The team owned by Cirano Mularoni, who just last year won the last 250cc World Championship with Hiroshi Aoyama and runs under the colors of the Republic of San Marino, has funding problems and just the other day, Rapid Inside NCS who supplies the chassis for their Force GP210 bikes officially dropped their partnership with the team due to continuing unpaid debts by the Sammarinese team and have already had a court issued against the team to recoup their unpaid bills.

Unless Mularoni finds enough cash or backers to pay his debts in the following two or three days, the team’s partecipation in the Brno GP is very highly in doubt.
