More reshuffling in the 125cc class as the start of the season draws near. The first piece of news is a renaming exercise, rather than radical change, as the former Molenaar team is redistributed throughout the paddock. With owner Arie Molenaar forced to withdraw after several sponsors pulled out over a failed Dutch TV deal, the management of the team is to be taken over by Roelof Waninge (former manager of the Sent Waninge transport business, who have backed Molenaar financially). Waninge was previously involved in the Molenaar team, but has now taken on a more substantial role, as reflected by the renaming of the team as the RW Racing GP team.
RW Racing GP will field Luis Salom for the 2011 season, who will have Hans Spaan as his crew chief, a role Spaan played for Salom at Molenaar in 2010. The former Molenaar mechanics are also heading to RW Racing GP, as will team manager Marlon Fluit. Salom's former teammate Jasper Iwema has now moved to the CBC Corse team, retaining a Dutch interest in the 125cc class.
