With only four races completed in the Moto2 championship, the axing has already started.
The first rider to get chopped is Raffaele de Rosa.
De Rosa who hasn’t scored a point so far this season, will be replaced by 32-year old Spanish rider Carmelo Morales for the rest of the championship.

The news wasn’t exactly unexpected as Morales was called in to test Team G22’s Moriwaki during the private Moto2 test that was held at the Motorland Aragon circuit just the other day and now has been officially confirmed by the Nieto brothers, who need a high profile Spanish rider to satisfy their sponsors.
