Arthur Sissis will join the Mahindra 𓆏💖Racing team in place of Efren Vazquez for the 2014 Moto3 season.

Va🅷zquez is moving to Racing Team Germany (Honda), while 18-year-old Australian Sissis arrives after two seasons at Red Bull KTM Ajo.

Sissis, who graduated to the world championship after two years in the Red Bull💃 Rookies Cup, finished twelfth with a podium in his rookie 2012 season.

This year, the Adelaide-born rider has slippe▨d to 15th overall.

"I'm really happy to join Mahindra - it's𒊎 a very good team and great to be riding for an Indian manufacturer," said Sisis. "I've spoken to the guys and like them a lot. It's a good time for me to chan🐽ge bikes, and I think I can do well. Miguel has shown the Mahindra can be on the podium, and it's always up near the front. When I've been close to it I can see it's fast. I'm really excited."

Sissis will ride alongside the retained Miguel Ol🌳iveira, who gave the vastly improved 2013 Mahindra its🔯 first Moto3 podium finish at Sepang this year and was sixth in the world championship.
