Current MotoGP 250cc rider Mattia Pasini has confirmed he will join Gianluca Montiron's JiR team in next season's Moto2 class and put a torrid 2009 behind him.

The Italian's team has suffered from financial problems in the second half of 2009, with Aprilia occasionally witholding the leased Team Toth bikes until cash was found.

"I'm happy to have finally signed with a serious structure, with a beautiful design behind and with the right people to work. We hope to finally have a quiet season, where we can think of to the races and not think of anything else," said Pasini.
