MotoGP: Gerloff Ganti Morbidelli Di Assen, Razgatlıoğlu Tolak Peluang

Pelumba GRT Yamaha WorldSBK, Garrett Gerloff, bakal menggantikan Franco Morbidelli di Assen, hujung minggu ini.

Perkara itu diumumkan Petronas Yamaha Sepang Racing Team.

Gerloff bakal mengisi kekosongan ditinggalkan Morbidelli yang tidak dapat beraksi ekoran mengalami kecederaan lutut kiri pada Selasa.

Difahamkan, kecederaan tersebut berpunca daripada masalah ligamen yang dialaminya ketika di Le Mans.

Sementara itu, ini merupakan kali kedua Gerloff bakal menggantikan pelumba Yamaha, apabila beraksi di sesi ujian bebas musim lalu menggantikan Valentino Rossi di GP Valencia yang menanti keputusan PCR.

Pada masa sama, difahamkan peluang tersebut telah ditawarkan kepada pelumba Pata Yamaha with Brixx, Toprak Razgatlıoğlu sebelum pelumba itu menolak peluang tersebut bagi memfokuskan saingan di WorldSBK.

MotoGP: Gerloff To Step In For Morbidelli At Assen

Petronas Sepang Racing Team (SRT) announced Garrett Gerloff as a replacement for the injured Franco Morbidelli at Assen this weekend.

The GRT Yamaha WorldSBK rider will step in for Morbidelli, who suffered a knee injury in training on Tuesday.

Gerloff took part in MotoGP free practice session at last year’s European GP in Valencia, standing in for Valentino Rossi, who was waiting for his PCR test result.

The American will jump onboard the YZR-M1 in exchange for his production R1 starting with FP1 on Friday.

However, it was understood that the offer went to Toprak Razgatlıoğlu before the Pata Yamaha with Brixx WorldSBK rider turned down the opportunity in favour of remaining focused to challenge the WorldSBK crown.
