Danny Kent to replace injured Iker Lecuona at Mugello

Brit back on the intermediate class grid with Garage Plus Interwetten

2015 Moto3™ World Champion Danny Kent will be back on the Moto2™ grid next time out in the Gran Premio D'Italia Oakley, as he steps in to replace injured Iker Lecuona at Garage Plus Interwetten whilst the Spaniard recovers from a broken collarbone.

Kent, who wildcarded last time out in the French GP in Moto3™ with Red Bull KTM Ajo, parted ways with the Kiefer Racing outfit in Moto2™ ahead of the Americas GP. Lecuona, meanwhile, has had successful surgery on his right collarbone break and will be back once given the all-clear to race.

Moto2™ practice begins at Mugello on FRiday 2nd June at 10:55am (GMT +2).
