David S🎃a🅠lom has announced that he will not finish the season with the Avintia Blusens CRT squad.

The Spaniard confirmed the news through his twitter account (@davidsalomds) by saying: "It is clear that the results have🗹 not been grea𓄧t but neither has the situation."

Salom will be replaced by Ivﷺan Silva, whom Salom had replaced two races ago.

An official sta🐼tement from the team said that it decided to bring back Silva in order to use the final four races as a 'test' for their bike's technical evolution.

The💮 statement acknowledged the assistance and involvement sho🗹wn by Salom and wished him well for the future.

Salom told motogp.com: "The team gave me the opportu✤nity to ride the bike, which I appreciate, and has now decided not to continue.

"It is true that the res💫ults have not arrived, but the con🍒ditions in these two races have not been the best, and they have been two difficult races.

"I already said I expected things to be better from Japan, but won't have the chance to prove i♉t... I wish Ivan the best of luck."

For Salom a move to World Superbikes seems most likely with the🦂 Spaniard revealing that he has been in negotiations with the Pedercini team for 2013.
