To no surprise for the MotoGP observers, JiR has announced that it will end its association with Honda at the end of the 2008 MotoGP season.

The JiR/Team Scot partnership will end at Valencia, and both outfits had planned to continue as a one-rider Honda MotoGP team next year, when Dovizioso will join Repsol Honda.

But with the only RC212Vs available for 2009 going to Team Scot, JiR had no chance.
