The Marc VDS Racing Moto2 squad has announced that it will retain 🎃Filip Salac for the 2025 season as he partners Jake Dixon at the Belgian outfit.

The 22-year-old C🌠zech racer made his Moto🌳2 debut in 2022 with the Gresini squad, with whom he scored two podiums across his first two campaigns in the class.

For this♊ year, Salac joined forces with Marc VDS, but numerous injury setbacks have stunted his growth on the Kalex.

Despite this, Salac has been a consistent top 10 🅠challenger in the second half of the season and has managed a best resul🍌t of seventh at the San Marino Grand Prix.

Salac is currently 16th in the standings on 40 points after finishing 10th in last weekend’s Em🍷ilia Romagna GP.

🐭He will partner current Aspar rider Dixon next year as the Marc VDS team switches from the Kalex to the Boscoscuro chassis.

This a🅘nnouncement comes after the team had reportedly said there would be no room for Salac in the squad.

“Firstly,ꦗ I want to say a huge thanks to the Elf M♛arc VDS Racing Team and in particular Marc [van der Straten] for giving me this opportunity to remain with this fantastic project in 2025,” Salac said.

“This yeaඣr hasn’t turned out so far to be like any of us wanted and expected through a combination of some bad luck and some injuries.

“It has been🐷 a very tough t🧜ime for me but I’m extremely thankful for all the support the team has given me.

“They still believe in me, and this has given me a lot of confidence, which has shown in the last three ꧃r♏aces.

“As my confidence ha🗹s grown then th🙈e results have been strong as well and I am now looking forward to a positive finish to the season as we build into 2025.

“Once again, thanks to Marc for trusting in me and I hope to be fi🦄ghting at the front from the first race n𓂃ext season when we make the switch to the Boscoscuro chassis.”

Team owner Marc van der Straten added: “It i🍸s true that results this season are far from what we wanted and what we know Filip can a⛦chieve.

“It has been a difficult season of adaptation aggr꧃avated by injurie🌊s.

“But I am convinced that Filip can make a comeback with the ✨necessary support, and we will give it to him.

“We are looking forward to seeing him show his grit so he can fight for the top🌸 positions. We have confidence in him and I’m sure he’ll give his all to deliver the results we all want.🅰”

Salac will get the chance to race in front of his home fans in 2025 after MotoGP recently announced that the Czech Grand Prix at Brno will be returning to the calenda🀅r.
