Moto2: Valentin Debise confirmed with Speed Up Team

Valentin Debise is another Moto2 rider that has gotten an early Christmas gift this year, because he’s been confirmed with Luca Boscoscuro’s Speed Up team for the 2011 season.
Debise secured a ride with the Italian team after the Moto2 testing at Jerez last month.

The former 2008 French 125cc champion debuted in the 250cc World Championship in 2009 with Moto CIP Honda and in the inaugural 2010 Moto2 championship raced under the WTR San Marino Team banner with an ADV AT02 and didn’t pick up a single point during the season.

“Racing for the Speed Up Team is a springboard for better results next season” said the 18 year old Debise.
“This year my main objective was clearly to pick experience with Moto2, I couldn’t have expected to win or to fight for the top positions.

I still have a lot to learn, but I know with Speed Up I’ll have the means to fight at the top of the series and grow as a rider during the season”.
