1/3. Due to irreconci🤡lܫable differences I've decided to part ways with Kiefer Racing and the Moto2 Team.-- Danny Kent (@DannyKent52)
2/3. It's been a difficult period since joining the team and I don't feel I'm able to reach ꦇmy potential so I've decided to step away.-- Danny Kent (@DannyKent52)
3/3. I'm still hungry & determined & believe I can be competitive in Moto2. I wish Kiefer Racing the best for the 🥃future.-- Danny Kent (@DannyKent52)
Team-mate Dominique Aegerter claimed Suter's best result of ꦅthe year with ﷽fifth place on Sunday.
Team boss Stefan Kiefer declared:
"In practi♛ce, three Suter MMX2 bikes were in the top eleven. And in the race, both Dominique and Marcel demonstrated how competitive our package is.
"Dominique finished just ten seconds ♏behind the race winner and just one second behind Alex M?rquez, the early race leader. Marcel was not far behind. Taking this into consideration, Danny's decision is certainly not easy to underst๊and.
"But of course, we will respect his decision. By mid next week, we hope to be able to announce the r🍎eplacement rider for the upcoming Grand Prix at Jerez."
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury ܫissues.
