Moto3, Daniel Holgado to replace Deniz Oncu at Misano and Portimao

Deniz Oncu out, Daniel Holgado in. Moto3 at Misano will see the CEV category leader riding the Red Bull Tech3 KTM, Hervé Poncharal’s team having turned to the Spaniard following the Turk’s disqualification.

Having turned 16 on 27 April, the Alicante native currently leads the Junior world championship. He was already on track, in CIP colours, for the Montmelò round, where he scored his first championship point, and now he’ll compete with the Austrian bike at the Marco Simoncelli track.

And that’s not all, because Oncu will not be at Portimao either, so Holgado will once again take his place. A great opportunity for a youngster who will be a permanent entry in the 2022 world championship? With who? With Red Bull Tech3 of course, the KTM team that’s giving him two valid opportunities to make a good impression.

Moto3, will the punishment inflicted on Deniz Oncu have an effect?
