Fraser Rogers is set to make his Moto2 World Championsh𓆉ip debut at the Portuguese Grand Prix this weekend, deputising for Barry Baltus in the NTS RW Racing GP team.

Rogers will replace B🌜altus due to the Belgian rider’s fractured left wrist injury he suffered at the opening round i♌n Qatar. 

Rogers will compete full-time in the Pirelli National Superstock seri💎es in 2021, but also has World Supersport and British Superbike experience. 

In addition, Rogers has participated in the Red Bull Rooki𒐪es Cup and Moto3, with h🌼is lone appearance coming in 2012 at Silverstone. 

With that 🐬said, this will be the biggest opportunity of the 25 year-old’s career as he gets set to compete in what he called the ‘co🎃ming races’. 

It remains to be seen how long the British rider will deputise for Baltus, but speaking ahea🍒d of his debut, Rogers said: "Thank you to the whole RW Racing NTS Moto2 team for giving me this opportunity. 

"I honestly cannot wait to get to the track🥃 and ride the bike. My goal isജ to learn with every lap and improve throughout every session. 

"I want to enjoy theඣ experience and give it my al🙈l for the team and see how we progress and where we end up at the end of the weekend."

Rogers will not be the only rider to stand-in this weekend, as y🐎esterday it was announced Miquel Pons would be substituting Tommaso Mar🍬con for the MV Agusta Forward Racing team.
