Honda Racing Corporation confirmed they have signed Hiroshi Aoyama, 2009 250cc World Champion, as a test rider in 2015.
The first step of this new project will see Hiro riding the new Honda Open Class bike with pneumatic valve engine, the RC213V-RS, in Valencia this weekend for his final race with the Aspar Team.
In next week’s three day test the 2015 machine will be shared between Karel Abraham and Nicky Hayden.
