Ar𒆙thur Sissis will join the Mahindra Rac💯ing team in place of Efren Vazquez for the 2014 Moto3 season.

Vazquez is moving to Racing Team Germany (Honda), while 18-year-old Australian Sissis arrives after twoꦰ seasons at Red Bull KTM Ajo.

Sissis, who graduated to the world championship after two y♍ears in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, finished twelfth with a podium in his rookie 2012 season.

This year, the Adelaide-born rider hཧas slipped to 15th overall.

"I'm really happy to join Mahindra - it's a very good team and great to be riding for an Indian manufacturer," said Sisis. "I've spoken to the guys and like them a lot. It's a good time for me to change bik🌸es, and I think I can do well. Miguel has shown the Mahindra can be on the podium, and it's always up near the front. When I've been close to it I can see it's fast. I'm really excited."

Sissis will ride alongside the retained Miguel Oliv🌄eira, who gave the vastly improved 2013 Mahindra its first Moto3 podium finish at Sepang this year and was sixth in the world championship.

"Mahindra Racing has🐠 been keeping a close eye on a number of young riders since we started our journey in the world of MotoGP," explained Mahindra Racing CEO♛ Mufaddal Choonia.

"Australia has produced many fine two-wheeled champions over the years and we feel that Arthur has real potential. We have shown the MGP3O is a very competitive package so he should have a great opportunity to fulf🐟il that potential with Mahindra."
