The move comes just days after McCoy was dropped by one of Triumph&#8217;s Factory WSS team, BE1 Racing, and FB Corse got the official &#8220;peace out&#8221; from John Hopkins. With McCoy likely to find only teams in Moto2 looking for riders, the timing for both parties couldn&#8217;t have been better.

You may remember that a week ago we brought to you the unveiling of the Bimota HB4 Moto2 race bike. The HB4, the first time a Honda motor has been in a Bimota in 25 years, was to be campaigned by FB Corse in the first running of the 250GP replacement series, Moto2, but has mysteriously been left out of the Moto2 Provisional race list.

First the American GP/WSBK racer was linked with MotoGP upstart FB Corse. A few days after the team announced a deal with Hopper, his manager said nothing was signed, and rumors about his involvement in the AMA began to ramp up.
