Broken collarbone during FP3 in Aragon, Miguel Oliveira had to skip Motegi.
Being still unable to ride, the Leopard Moto2 team had to find a replacement for Phillip Island.
This one is Alexander Nocco, 20/05/1997, who currently rides in the Italian Superbike and Supersport Championship. He is not completely unknown in the world of Grands Prix since rumor had seen him competing with the other driver of the Italian Federation, Franco Morbidelli to take second place at SpeedUp alongside Sam Lowes in 2014.
This ultimately did not happen, but the Italian driver instantly made an impression, with the same hair as the one we will celebrate next Sunday...
He will replace Miguel Oliveira in Australia and Malaysia.
