Moto2, Marcel Schroetter to race for KTM Ajo at Silverstone as well

It will be Marcel Schroetter who will also be alongside Celestino Vietti in the upcoming Moto2 Round at Silverstone. With Deniz Oncu still struggling with recovery from the left hand surgery he underwent for the fracture he suffered in a training accident last June, the Red Bull KTM Ajo team has decided to rely once again on the 31-year-old German.

Already a substitute for the Turk in the previous Rounds at Assen and Sachsenring, the former Moto2 rider and current MV Agusta team rider in World Supersport will thus return to action for the third consecutive GP, after coming close to the points zone in the previous two Rounds, which ended in 18th and 17th position, respectively.

"Marcel Schroettter will replace Deniz Oncu in the British GP," reads the statement released by the team. " Unfortunately, our rider will not be able to return to racing next week, so we will be able to count on Schroetter again after his good work in the previous Rounds. We send once again our best wishes to Deniz and we are confident to have him back soon."
