Carmelo Morales will make his full-time Moto2 World Championship debut at the Catalunya Grand Prix after it was confirmed he would be replacing Raffaele de Rosa a🐽t Desguaces La Torre G22.

The Spaniard, who is currently leading the CEV Moto2 Championship, started three world series Moto2 races in 2010, though he is probably best re📖membered for his spectacular finish line accident in Barcelona last season, when he touched wheels with Kenny Noyes on th🎐e run to the chequered flag.

Morales, who has also been testing Suter's BMW-engined 'Moto1' prototype, made his debut for the team during this wᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚeek's test at Motorland Aragon and replaces de Rosa, who has failed to score during the opening four rounds.

"Carmelo made a great impression across these two days," said team director Pablo Nieto. "He's a ve𓆉ry fast rider, as pr🐟oven by the titles he has won in different categories of the Spanish National Championship."

"We had no pr❀oblem with Raffaele, it's an unforeseen situation and we'll do all we can in order to help him find a team."

Nieto's G22 team has endured a troubled 2011 season following the announcement that Fonsi Nieto was to retire from professional competition shortly before the start of the season, ꦺwhile hi✃s replacement Lukasz Wargala did not compete at the previous Le Mans round after failing to qualify in Portugal.
