Takahashi to replace Rins at San Marino GP

The HRC test rider will step in for the injured Spaniard at Misano

With Alex Rins still sidelined through injury, HRC test rider Takumi Takahashi will stand in at LCR Honda Castrol this weekend at the Gran Premio Red Bull di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini.

Iker Lecuona has been Rins’ replacement rider since the latter fractured his leg at the Italian GP in June, but Lecuona is on WorldSBK duties in Magny-Cours this weekend. Instead, Suzuka 8 Hours winner Takahashi will line up alongside compatriot Takaaki Nakagami (LCR Honda Idemitsu) in Misano.
