Moto2: Danny Kent splits from Kiefer Racing
For💎mer world champion Danny Kent has an🧔nounced a shock split from the Kiefer Racing Moto2 team.
The Englishman did not start today's Austin race, with talk of a pinched nerve in his back providing some time to 🔴thi♈nk the decision through. Kent has now tweeted his departure from the Suter-backed squad, after just 3 of 18 rounds.
Kent and his management are understood to be looking for🌠 an alternative ride for the rest of the season.
1/3. Due to irreconcilable differences I've decided to part ways🐼 with Kiefer Racing and the Moto2 Team.-- Danny Kent (@DannyKent52)
2/3. It's bee﷽n a difficult period since joining the team and I don't feel I'm able to reach my poten🍨tial so I've decided to step away.-- Danny Kent (@DannyKent52)
3/3. I'm still hungry & ꦉdetermined & believe I can be♏ competitive in Moto2. I wish Kiefer Racing the best for the future.-- Danny Kent (@DannyKent52)
Teaℱm-mate Dominique Aegerter claimed Suter's best result of the year with fifth place on Sunday.
Team boss Stefan Kiefer declared:
"In practice, three Suter MMX2 bikes were in the top eleven. And in the race, both Dominique and Marcel demonstraꦦted how competitive our package is.
"Dominique finished just ten seconds behind the race winner and just one second behind Alex M?rquez, the early race leader. Marcel was not far behin🐓d. Taking this into con🐼sideration, Danny's decision is certainly not easy to understand.
"But of course, we will respect his decision. By mid next week, we hope to be able to announce the repla♐cement rider for the upcoming Grand Prix at Jerez."
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi ꦕcome and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
