Swiss team owner Daniel M. Epp will run a MotoGP Honda next year, with current 250cc World Championship leader Hiroshi Aoyama signed for 2010.

“We are pleased to announce that we have completed a deal to run a Honda RC212V in the MotoGP class in the 2010 season. After winning the World Championship in 2005 with Tom Lüthi on the 125cc Honda, it’s a great pleasure for me to join up again with Honda,” said Epp, who has run a successful 125 and 250 team for the past few seasons.

“Now, after all these years we have finally been able to achieve our dream of presenting a MotoGP project. We are proud to become part of the premier class of motorcycle Grand Prix racing.”

Epp will announce further details of his 2010 MotoGP project at the final round of the season in Valencia.
