But he only took two top ten finishes, compared with nine for Kallio, and was beaten by Kallio's temporary replacement Aleix Espargaro at Misano.
By the time Canepa's debut season had come to a premature end with an arm injury in Australia, Espargaro had already been named as riding alongside Kallio for 2010.
Scot Racing, which recently announced it will have no
MotoGP team in 2010, has two Moto2 entries for next season. The identity of the second rider is still to be revealed.
Joining Canepa in stepping down from
MotoGP to Moto2 next season are
Toni Elias and Gabor Talmacsi, with
Alex de Angelis yet to announce his 2010 plans.
