Kanemoto reunited with Biaggi for '05.
Erv Kanemoto, who left the factory Suzuki team at the end of last season, will be reunited with former rider Max Biaggi in 2005, with confirmation that the technical guru will switch to the Repsol Honda team.
Kanemoto, who has prepared machines that have won 64 grands prix and seven world championships, will take on the role of technical director for the team and its riders Nicky Hayden and Biaggi - proving speculation before Christmas of a reunion between Kanemoto and Biaggi to be correct.

"It's a real challenge and one I'm really looking forward to," Kanemoto said following the opening day of pre-season testing at Sepang. "I'll be working hard looking at all aspects of the machine and how both riders can get the most performance from the bike and from themselves.
"It is very early days and we gather information. We come back to Sepang next month with the 2005 machine and move forward. I've worked successfully with Max in the past and we have a good relationship; I look forward to working with Nicky in the same productive way."
