Dennis Foggia, nicknamed “The Rocket” and current leader of the FIM CEV junior Moto3 world championship, will replace Darryn Binder within the World Wide Race / Bay Platinum Real Estate team.
Brad's brother injured his right hand last week during Supermoto training. Recovering from his fall with a fracture in his right thumb, the South African driver was forced to withdraw from the Czech Republic Grand Prix.
Replace it with the one that remains on three successive victories in the FIM CEV junior Moto3 world championship does not seem a bad choice, especially since his presumed move to the world championship in 2018 would not necessarily take place within the SKY VR46 structure, which already welcomes Andrea Migno et Nicolo Bulega.
16 years old, Dennis Foggia has nothing to lose and everything to learn: “I'm really happy to have had this wild card. It's my first time racing in the world and it's very exciting. Being in the paddock and thinking about how much you can learn on track with these drivers is wonderful. During these days I will try to learn as much as possible. I will listen to the team and all the advice they give me. I'll be careful, but I want to have fun. I will definitely do my best because this weekend has to be positive. »
